Tom,

It might be becoming popular today with those who profess to be Reformed, but given the falling away of so many from the HISTORIC Reformed faith to varied unbiblical teachings and practices, it shouldn't be surprising to find this view surfacing.

There are a few really good articles which deal with this view which you can find here: The Atonement of Christ.

- Series by Gary Long
1Timothy 2:4
1Timothy 4:10
Titus 2:11
II Peter 2:1
I John 2:2

The Extent of the Atonement - Charles W. Bronson (short book)

Sufficient for All - Jim Ellis

I seriously doubt there were many or even any, at least who would have been bold enough to say so, that held to this view. IF <--- I am understanding you correctly, this view is known theologically as "Amyraldianism" and in the vernacular, "4-Point Calvinism". I think the men at Dordtrect got it right!! [Linked Image]
