It is by grace that you are saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, but it is a gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.
Doesn't that pretty much seal up the debate of who salvation is for?
When you believe in God's Salvation having come to ALL mankind, you are saved.
Then take a look at I Timothy 4:9-10
This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance (and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe.
If you believe it is by your faith, or your works, reread Ephesians 2:8-9.
Confess it and believe it, then tell others the truth.
For those still stuck on believing in eternal punishment, check out the meaning of the translation in the greek. It is until the end of a time.
He will never leave you, nor forsake you.
Even hypocrites and those in outright rebellion have THE hope of being reconciled to God.
Death where is thy sting?
