Universalism. ( John 3 v16 )

It wasn't for many years that I discovered  that one my favorite Christian writers did not believe in the deity of Christ,but he also believed in universalism,which  means that everyone is going to be saved.That means all different religions,those of no religion, all those who have never accepted Christ as their Saviour, they will be in heaven.It is to say the least a strange belief. and is totally at odds with what the Bible teaches .The story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16 v 19 - 31,would clearly teach there will be those that will not be saved.Like Daniel  12 v 2,which reads'Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake some to everlasting life, and others to to shame and everlasting contempt' In Matthew 25 v46 we read of those going to eternal punishment,and those going to eternal life.We are told if we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ we shall  be saved Acts 16 v 31. In Revelation 20 v 15 'Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life are thrown into the lake of fire. In 14 v6 ,Jesus said no one comes to the Father except through Me,one of the reasons we preach the gospel is that people can go to heaven,and not go to hell,we deal with the subject of hell next time.
