Limited Atonement
Unless you believe all men will be saved and there is no such thing as eternal punishment, you believe in limited atonement. Limited atonement does not mean Christ’s atoning death is limited in its power to save. You cannot be too sinful to be saved! But there are those who limit the atoning work of Christ by the will of man. According to this view, Christ’s atonement is universal, for all men without exception, but it is limited by man’s will…. whether or not he accepts or rejects the atonement of Christ. The other belief concerning atonement is that God’s intention of who Christ’s atonement is for is limited to the elect. Those two beliefs cannot co-exist. One puts salvation dependent on the will of man. The other makes salvation conditioned upon the will of God. One makes salvation by works. The other ascribes salvation to be by grace. One is not supported by Scriptures. The other is. One is not the Gospel. The other is. One does not save. The other does! One says it is not finished. The other says, “It is finished.” ~Todd Nibert
