The entire human race
universalism?
God's will?
2 Pet 3:9
Arminian
Frustrated by man's will
Calvinist
All the chosen saved
Why did Christ die?
Potential?
Christ's dath did not nsure the salvation of anyone, for it did not secure the gift of faith to anyon (there is no such gift); what it did was rather to crate a possibility of salvation for veryone if they believe.
Actual?
The redeeming work of Christ had as its nd and goal the salvation of the elect
The "modern" gospel
JIP
... we speak of His redeeming work as ifi He had done no more by dying than make it possible for us to save ourselves by believing; we speak of Gods lover as if it were no more than a general willingness to receive any who will turn and trust; and we depict the Father and th Son, not as sovereignly active in drawing sinners to themsleves, but as waiting in quiet impotence "at the door of our hearts" for us to let them in.

And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?
