Introduction LIMITED ATONEMENT - THE BELIEF THAT CHRIST DIED FOR HIS ELECT ONLY. The question we will seek to address here, is: Did Christ die for His elect only? Or, did He die for every single human being?

Defining Limited Atonement Defining what is meant by "Limited Atonement".

The Scope of Christ's Atonement While, Calvinists limit the scope of Christ's Atonement to The Elect; both Pelagians and Arminians assume a universal scope to Christ's Atonement. Let's see who's correct?
