• Dean Johnson - The Resurrection of All in All "A favorite verse is 'Christ is all and in all' and 'that God may be all in all.'  I work from an underlying belief in the infinite and unfailing love of God for all humankind. This includes a belief in the 'Ultimate Reconciliation' of all, and a Preterist understanding of the promises of God as already fulfilled.

MODERN UNIVERSALISM

Biblically Based
on Fulfilled Eschatology

• Dr. David Thom: The Assurance of Faith : Calvinism Identified with Universalism (1833) "Can more barefaced hypocrisy be conceived than this ? But it is possible that such language may be the result of consummate folly.. I say, it is possible, that some (Calvinist) minds may be unable to observe the gross and glaring discrepancy between the two statements. But whether hypocritical, or unable, or both, one thing is plain, that persons who after asserting the gratuitousness of eternal  life, can afterwards represent the discovery of the work of the Spirit in themselves, as necessary in order to their knowing that they have this exalted privilege, lay themselves open to a cutting remark of the learned Owen, originally applied to some who, in his time, denounced the Popish and Arminian doctrine of conditions of justification and eternal life.. "

HISTORICAL
UNIVERSALISM

Biblically Based on All Other Factors

• Enoch Merrill Pingree, Nathan Lewis Rice - A Debate on the Doctrine of Universal Salvation: Held in Cincinnati (1845) "Is this the obvious meaning of the Saviour's language? No respectable commentator or critic ever so understood it. Why, then, must it be so grossly perverted from its obvious sense ? Because if we understand Christ to mean what he says, Universalism is overthrown !"
