Featured Calvinism and Context ?

If everyone's sins are paid for, unbelief being one of them I presume, then on what basis is anyone lost??

 

Hebrews 9:11-28 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood. For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, saying, “This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you.” And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship. Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

Hebrews 9 is clear. It is also evident that the atonement is limited to the many.

Barry, I cannot make you believe the Bible. One day, however, you will no longer be able to hide behind a loophole of your own design. You will have to face what God says and accept your place in His Kingdom.

 

Therefore the atonement is not universal. It is limited to those God has made alive and given faith to believe.

 

Barry, you have significantly complicated the gospel and added many requirements.

God makes a person alive and saves by grace, through the gift of faith. We would not be righteous if Jesus had not atoned for our sins. Read Hebrews 9.

 

According to your view the only thing that determines life with God or life in hell is ones belief or unbelief. Many unbelievers will go to hell, fully made perfect by Jesus atoning sacrifice, making the atonement ineffective and useless, but condemned because they chose not to believe. Only a person's willfully, man determined choice to believe or not believe will save or not save them.
This sounds like a Nazarene/Wesleyan position where you can gain or lose salvation by whether you believe or don't believe at any given moment. Your eternity depends on you.

 

The atonement pays for and redeems a person. You are avoiding the obvious.

God's grace is what saves. Read Ephesians 2:1-9

Atonement is limited and thus only those whom God has redeemed will be glorified. So using your dissection...both are limited. If we hold your version then everyone is fully redeemed, yet God only acknowledges redemption of the persons who willfully choose to believe. Are you incapable of seeing your legalistic, works based method of salvation that completely ignores grace?

 

You negate grace and insert the law. You do not preach the gospel.

 

I see you preaching your own conjured belief and claiming it to be faith.

 

And here you show your salvation by the law, apart from grace. Thank you for such revelation that you are not preaching the gospel.

 

By your statement we can see that Jesus death was unnecessary in your theology and therefore wasted on humanity.
I am not confused. I am in direct conflict with your non-gospel teaching.
