The Advent has been making the same arguments since Paul Zahl was dean and made adjustments accordingly.

An interesting interview with Michael McClymond on universalism (the belief that everyone is saved in the end). This once minority and un-orthodox position is now widely held in mainline denominations (ours especially) and even some evangelicals are jumping onboard. McClymond accurately states the problem when he says: “Universalism isn’t just a theological mistake. It’s also […]
