Pilgrim,

Yes, I understand the confusion that the use of the word "condition" can cause and it must be qualified with the fact that God grants the fulfillment of the condition. Even the word "prerequisite" causes the same confusion. I believe that Renat has more of a problem with the use of "conditional".

I have a problem with saying that "Christ died for all men" as well. I am not sure what John Piper would say about it at this time. He is currently on an 8 month sabattical and will not be answering any question until next year. If I find something in one of his books I will let you know. Also, I know he is not "Reformed" as you regard it. He would be considered in the New Calvinism crowd I am sure.
