In a nut shell, I have already given my take on the article to Robin. He responded that I was reading too much in to what the article was saying. However, I am not so sure.

So basically if the article is saying that the word "world" means everyone (elect and un-elect); then I must disagree.
Though, I am still a little confused at Dabney's comment that if world means elect, then in verse 18, the elect can lose their salvation.

I do however agree the verse is evangelistic in nature, seeing as nobody except God knows who the elect are.
