You are absolutely wrong on this, Paul clearly states in those verses that christ died for the elect according to the scriptures, what scriptures? The old test scriptures, the old test scriptures shows forth all the way through that the death of christ is limited. Gen 3: 15...when he called abraham, the formation of the people of israel, the sacrifices and what they symbolized..All of old test scripture points to the elect of God as being the ones for whom christ died. Is 53, old test scripture, is referring to the elect, my people is talking about the elct the sheep.
Yes I do espouse that part of the Gospel message that paul preached is limited atonement and election , you can call it points of calvinism if you like but it is the word of God. As far as all the audience being the elect, well listen. This was a group of professed believers at corinth, now can we be sure that all confessed believers are genuine believers ? No. Thats why he said IF. If there would be some that apostacized from the truth, then 1jn applys 2: 19They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.

Paul is charitable in addressing all who came together as brethern , for they profess to believe the gospel, but he was aware of some may have been stoney heart believers matt 13: 20 , 21 The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.

You cannot get away from it, the gospel paul preached contained the truth of limited atonement, if you deny it, you deny scripture..period ! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bif.gif" alt="" />
