Everyone counts.
Isaiah 45: 24 (ESV) "Only in the LORD, it shall be said of Me, are righteousness and strength; to Him shall come and be ashamed all who were incensed against Him."

Read my reply to WoG. The name LORD in all caps. refers to the trinity. No Jesus no salvation.

If only the Bible made reference to the Trinity . . . .

Where is this copied from, the beginners guide to writing sermons? This vacuous drivel is 'exactly' what you can hear in any parish church throughout any land. It is utterly devoid of any meaningful content.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Thank you for actually answering my question! And, it only took 3 pages for this to happen. But, "the door" closes at death, right?
I'm not sure. The bible doesn't state specifically that your opportunity to be saved ends after death.

Really? Why? I hope it's what you hear in all the churches.

If there is a God and if it is Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews and the God of the armies, then we are already in hell.
How do you figure that, it certainly isn't biblical teaching and sense you are speaking of the God of the Bible, the Bible is the only place the answer can come from.

It does and in the first and third chapters of the Bible.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

You might as well just believe in universalism, the idea that everyone, atheists included, will be redeemed. After all, why not?

It doesn't, ofc, but you interpret them as-such because you believe them to be-such. Awfully convenient, I'd say. Funny thing about magic book...errybody sees what they believe in there, even when they all collectively disagree on what's in there. -You- believe in the trinitity because the pagans who founded your religion commonly believed in triune gods...and nobody was going to stray -too- far from their favorite brand of whiskey just because one bottle was cheaper than another.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

and that's how it mutates and schisms 70,000 times . . .
God authored confusion and reaps what He sows . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

And then it gets fun,
"Well the word 'trinity' isn't used in Scripture, but it's clear . . . . . . "
So the rest of us chime in:
"So why not use the terminology that's in the BIBLE then, and quit fucking confusing us with your bullshittery ?"

It's an option, but only after an appropriate time in hell. Actually, there's a good amount of evidence in scripture to support that belief. The individual would still need to come to Christ. I'd refer to it as "universal reconciliation". Some early church fathers supported that idea.

Maybe you guys should figure it out between yourselves, and -then- get back to us with a definitive answer? It seems like it might be an important question..more important, at least, than whether or not godman's eyes were brown or blue.
Where exactly is the disagreement? Didn't I state that unless one is part of the elect, it is possible to lose salvation?
Now if it's his position that the elect can lose salvation, then he must prove it by scripture.
