Hebrews Jesus died to save the many, and only those in Him are spared the wrath of God, ALL of us under judgement beforecoming to Christ...
The genuine gospel is neither Arminian nor Calvinist

Hi death is suffent to have saved all, but only those whom God chosen will get saved! -
Let's go to Hebrews 9:25 "Nor did He (Christ) enter to offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. 26 For then He would have had to suffer repeatedly since the world was created, but now He has appeared once at the end of the ages to put away sin by sacrificing Himself."
If you were saved when you believed then Christ "would have to suffer repeatedly", i.e., He would have to die again and again for everyone who believes.
Faith is a response to what Christ has already accomplished. Christ death, which was your death to the law, happened once for all men.
Clearly Calvin was in error..... -

When you get to heaven will you say "I was saved because I did something - that is, my faith saved me?"
I hope not because your "faith" is not your Savior. Christ saved you 2000 years ago, you received it through faith. Faith is the channel by which you received what had already been accomplished in the birth, life, death and resurrection of Christ.
It is the goodness of God that leads one to faith and repentance (Romans 2:4). Hence, faith is not allowing God or giving Him permission to put us into Christ but accepting with grateful hearts what God has already accomplished for mankind in Christ (1 Corinthians 1:30-31; 2 Corinthians 5:18-20; Ephesians 1:3-4). -
Rom 5:8 "God proves his love (agape) for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us....10 ...while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son"
Eph 2:5 " ...even when we were dead in transgressions – it is by grace you have been saved. "
God saved you "in Christ" when you were an enemy of God - while you were fully living for your fallen nature (the flesh). -

The gospel that you present, Yeshua, is what Paul called "another gospel", which is really no gospel at all. -
Your view istefalse one, s you he God reconcilin all sinners back to Himself while ewere also still his enemies!
