There are some who, Calvinists in their vows and Arminians in their tendencies, teach the doctrine of a double reference of the atonement; representing the atonement as offered in one sense for the elect, and in another sense for all. These maintain that there was a special atonement securing a certainty of salvation to some, and universal atonement securing a possibility of salvation to all.
This is a fascinating article that deals with how some men have tried to straddle the fence that stands between and divides Arminianism and Calvinism in the matter of the atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ. John Kennedy of Dingwall, Scotland takes issue with this view and shows in myriad ways how it cannot be consistently held by one who professes to stand in the Calvinist camp.

This is a 'meaty' article to be sure but one that fully satisfies when consumed. grin
