Speratus,

Distinguishing between the "reconciliation brought about by the atonement," supposedly universal, and the "reconciliation brought about by justification," which is supposedly not univeral, is heresy. If you think I'm wrong in this charge, can you prove this bifucating doctrine from Scripture?

Henry

Actually, I distinguished between "the reconciliation of the whole world wrought by Jesus Christ by His perfect obedience to the Father (atonement) and the reconciliation wrought by God by which men obtain the forgiveness of sins (justification by faith alone)." Are you saying that a man is personally reconciled to God by the atonement before he comes to faith?
