I've been following this thread from the start - and maybe I missed it, but NO ONE has even mentioned "the Universal Salvation doctrine" until you did just now.
And certainly no one has tried to "convert" anyone to it.
My position is that the "3 Stepper" way is accurate, but incomplete. It ignores the vital aspect of the work of grace that happens (or should happen) simultaneously with our "obedience."
In order to try and hammer down our "3 Stepper" dogma we have traditionally ignored grace to the point that many people question whether or not our Gospel even includes the cross! We respond to those question by skulking about and throwing away a good deal of our literature that would have answered our critics' charges.
Why not bring the cross back in, get back to our roots and invite others to share a blessing!
