No, so says God’s Word. There’s not a born-again, Bible-believing pastor or group of elders or church now or at any time that would agree with what you say here. What church or group of believers or theology is closest to your beliefs?

“And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” 1 John 2:2

And again, the Bible clearly teaches that Jesus’ sacrificial death paid for all the sins of mankind, and that reassures anyone and everyone who comes to believe in and put their trust in Christ that He died for their sins too, but the Bible just as clearly teaches that if people reject Christ, they’re rejecting His sacrifice on their behalf.

That is equally clear in 2 Corinthians 3, which says God reconciled the world to Himself through Jesus’ death AND THEN SAYS, “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech (request earnestly, beg) you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.”

So right there in 2 Corinthians 5:20: People STILL have to choose to be reconciled to God. Or do you have some other explanation for 2 Corinthians 5:20?

God made the Way for us in His Son, but we still have to choose to walk it.

Go back and read what I have posted on this thread. Are you just arguing to be argumentative? In your last post you’ve gone full circle to agreeing with what I have said on this thread.

So back to the point - I agree with this prophetic word that there IS a Tsunami of Salvation coming to America and the world that no one including Satan and his minions will be able to stop although he is trying and will try very hard to stop it. As nothing can stop a tsunami, so nothing will stop what God is about to do. I believe we are about to see possibly the greatest Spiritual Awakening ever seen and the greatest ingathering of souls around the world ever seen in the period of the next few decades, as a fulfillment of Jesus’ prophetic parable in Luke 14:23.

Christ didn’t come 2000 years ago to condemn the world nor does he now, but that the world through him might be saved.
