Subject: people who have never heard the Gospel ? |
Bible Note: Since the topic came up, I have read a few pieces on it. I do not feel qualified to comment, except to say it seems the ones who hold that view still believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and are trusting in him for salvation. They believe all people can be saved and I trust that it motivates them to preach the Gospel. My immediate impression is that the doctrine of universal salvation is in some ways comparable to one stating that a saved person can lose his salvation. As far as I know, they are both erroneous but harmless. I trust they do not encourage people to be careless or complacent. As far as I can see, from what I have read, that doctrine should not cause them to be slack in calling all men to faith and salvation. In fact, I’d hope it might encourage it. I am not sure it is useful to discuss this further. I would only hope that, as someone has said, that doctrine is not being espoused here. I have known only one or two people from the Unitarian church, and I have never heard them to speak of that teaching. Also, to repeat, I do not think it is what Danny was suggesting. |
