No Pianoman Calvary and the sacrifice thereof forgave-redeemed-pardoned ALL the sins of this whole world living and dead. Every man ever born had his sins forgiven at Calvary. He died for ALL without exception. He paid the price.
However the majority of the world will be ultimately lost because though thier sins are forgiven and they have been redeemed it means NOTHING if not accepted and applied the sinner. I am identified with His redemptive work of death-burial-resurrection in obeying the gospel which in this dsipensation is found in
Acts 2:38. Calvary and it's work is the message
Acts 2:38 is the application of the message to the soul of the sinner. That is where the change takes place personally in the heart of man that was paid for with His precious blood. Calvary is the REAL DEAL and I accept that deal and what a deal it is by obeying the gospel.
