Yes, but this was said about Christians who had received the Holy Spirit. Personally I wouldn't assume that it applies to all people.
Yes. True that it was said in regard to Christians. But I believe that in some points it can also be applied to sinners and backsliders. God has commanded all to repent, and that command is not beyond ability of everyone to obey...as was said in another place, (I John), his commandments are not grievous.
Quote:Acts 17:30-31
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
In that regard, God hasn't laid an impossible burden on the backs of humankind when He commanded all to repent.

Quote:It was an awful mistake to characterize based upon religion. I should not judge any theist that way, I must remember what I said in order to change.
