    No. Christ purchased men for God (Revelation 5:9).

    No. Christ is the Saviour (eg. Titus 2:13; 3:6). What does a Saviour do? He doesn't provide means of salvation and then wait to see what happens; He saves. :)

    More obfuscation folks, with no point. Mankind was purchased, bought, ransomed by Christ's Subsitutionary Sacrifice. He became the propitiation or means of salvation for the whole world.
    Christ's Subsitutionary Sacrifice ransomed, purchased, bought, the propitiatory means of salvation for the whole world. God is propitiated toward everyone placed spiritually into Christ.

    On the cross Christ provided the means of salvation.
    When God puts an individual into Christ after crediting their faith as righteousness, then they receive the washing of regeneration, the circumcision of Christ where their sin burden (what God has against them) is removed. They are thus justified, made perfect and righteous.

    Would you agree with the Bible though on this that while Jesus death establisheda new way of god dealing with sinners, as now coming to him thru the Cross, under the new Covenant, that it applies ONLY to the redeemed of the Lord, and not all sinners?

    No, of course not!! We are all under the New Covenant, and if anyone does not meet its conditionals, i.e. believing into Him, they will be told, Depart from Me, I never knew you, and go to Hades. Those not washed by His blood face the wrath and enmity of God.

    Was the result of God ransoming mankind the salvation of mankind? No, of course not. What was the result? Christ became the propitiation or means of salvation for the whole world.1 John 2:2

    Mankind was purchased, both those saved or to be saved, and those never to be saved. Christ's Substitutionary Sacrifice ransomed, purchased, bought, and set mankind under the New Covenant. 2 Peter 2:1

    God is not propitiated toward all men, but is propitiated toward those He has put into Christ.

    Does scripture say all mankind has been reconciled? Nope. God is reconciling the world, one sinner at a time when He transfers them into Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:19

    Did I "refuse to say" what the criterion is for putting someone in Christ. No. I said over and over If God credits a person's faith in the Truth as righteousness, then He puts them in Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2:13

    If a person has been put into Christ, God has been propitiated toward that individual.
    If a person has been put into Christ, they have been redeemed.
    If a person has been put into Christ, they have come to Christ.
    If a person has been put into Christ, they have been given to Christ.
    If a person has been put into Christ, they have been justified.
    If a person has been put into Christ, they have been made righteous.
    If a person has been put into Christ, they have become children of God.
    If a person has been put into Christ, they have been made alive together with Christ.
    If a person has been put into Christ, they have been predestined to adoption, the redemption of their bodies.
    If a person has been put into Christ, they have been saved from the penalty of sin, positional sanctification.

    Propitiation = means of salvation
    Redemption = act of salvation, the transfer into Christ.
    Reconciliation = the result of salvation, being at one with God.

    Christ's Subsitutionary Sacrifice put sinful humanity under the New Covenant, with Christ being the propitiation or means of salvation for mankind. When, as ambassadors of Christ we beg the lost to be reconciled to God, what is our message of reconciliation? You were saved or damned from all eternity for all eternity? Nope. You are unable to believe unless God bestows irresistible grace? Nope

    Must we believe God raised Him from the dead? Yes
    Must we love Him with all our heart? Yes
    Must we believe He is God the Son? Yes
    Must we believe He is the Anointed One, with the power to set us free from the penalty of sin. Yes
    Must we trust in His sacrifice on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins? Yes

    God is patient, not willing for anyone to be lost, but for all people to come to the knowledge of the Truth.
    If our message of reconciliation does not proclaim the opportunity for salvation to all, our message is ... skewed.

    Your posting of the same message over and over again does not make it any less erroneous.
    See Post #38.

    Since some engage in posting obfuscation and off topic gratuitous insults, I like to remind people of the actual issue being discussed. If and when you offer scripturally based observations that differ from posts 85 and 86, I will address them unless they amount to more obfuscation.
