Limited vs unlimited atonement

... it sure sounds like it. One is "all", one divides the all into those meeting a specific criteria; those that have accepted.

Perhaps a contextual reference might give a more meaningful response.

As in, would there be any difference between me offering a free cookie to everyone, or me offering a free cookie only to those who accept my offer? Let's clear it up: when I say Christ's death, I meant Christ's offer of salvation.

I'm no expert, to be sure. But I'd say Yes, there's a big difference.

Is there a difference in the effect?

Ok, I'll follow down this rabbit hole; I love a good adventure!



If I understand Christian Teachings sufficiently, I'd say yes: In one case all people would be the recipients of that which came from the sacrifice. In the second case, only those who accepted Him would reap the rewards of that sacrifice.

But this all seems to be self evident. Don't get me wrong, I love a good ride, but where exactly are we going?

No, because the key point of salvation is that you must ACCEPT it to get it's effect. Me putting a free cookie on the table requires someone to take the cookie, right?
