Did Jesus Die For ALL?Did Jesus Die For ALL? "The question which we are to discuss under the

subject of 'Limited Atonement' is, Did Christ offer up Himself a sacrifice for the whole human race, for every individual without distinction or exception; or did His death have special reference to the elect? In other words, was the sacrifice of Christ merely intended to make the salvation of all men possible, or was it intended to render certain the salvation of those who had been given to Him by the Father? Arminians hold that Christ died for all men alike, while Calvinists hold that in the intention and secret plan of God Christ died for the elect only" (Loraine Boettner, The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination, p. 150).
