He did save/make atonement for those who believed [look up "believed"-means an act of belief--an action! not to be confused with a work] so that was success! Anything but failure! What Christ accomplished on the cross should NEVER be thought of as that!!! You don't have the right to define infallible. If He came to die for only those who He KNEW would believe, then you can not say otherwise. It didn't say he died for the saved! That would have been a waste! He died for the lost!

Mr. Ditmer,

Did you actually READ the Forum Guidelines before you registered and before you put the check in the box acknowledging that you did read them? Do you have even the slightest idea what the theology of the Protestant Reformation is; i.e., the REFORMED Faith? Perhaps you should acquaint yourself with what the Scriptures teach concerning Christ's INFALLIBLE atonement, i.e., it actually accomplished that which the Father willed it to be, to save those whom the Father gave to the Son and in whom the Holy Spirit would create faith and INFALLIBLY draw them to Christ and preserve them to the end.

Lots of good reading can be found here: The Atonement of the Lord Christ.
