Christ died for all
Contents
For all
1 Timothy 2.6 Who gave himself a ransom for all,
to be testified in due time.
Isaiah 53.6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
For every man
Hebrews 2.9 But we see Jesus,
who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death,
crowned with glory and honour;
that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
For the world
John 3.16 For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
For the sins of the whole world
1 John 2.2 And he is the propitiation for our sins:
and not for ours only,
but also for the sins of the whole world.
For the ungodly
Romans 5.6 For when we were yet without strength,
in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
For false teachers
2 Peter 2.1 But there were false prophets also among the people,
even as there shall be false teachers among you,
who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,
even denying the Lord that bought them,
and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
For many
Matthew 20.28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister,
and to give his life a ransom for many.
For Israel
John 11.50-51 Nor consider that it is expedient for us,
that one man should die for the people,
and that the whole nation perish not.
51 And this spake he not of himself:
but being high priest that year,
he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
For the Church
Ephesians 5.25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church,
and gave himself for it;
For "me"
Galatians 2.20 I am crucified with Christ:
nevertheless I live;
yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God,
who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Below taken from The Baptist Pillar
True Baptists have never believed a little prayer can save anyone.
We believe as Jesus said in John 6.44,
“No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
The Father has to draw, has to work in the heart of man and bring them to salvation.
But here’s the difference, we believe that God wants and desires all to be saved as found in 2 Peter 3.9,
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness;
but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
We believe as John 3.16 says,
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Whosoever, and that sure does not mean they all will, few there be that find it.
If all cannot be saved and there is a limited atonement, why then are we told in Mark 16.15,
“...Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”
Why, if they do not have a choice?
