Is salvation limited to a few people?
Salvation is not limited to a few people. The potential is there for everyone, because the Spirit and the Bride say, "Come," and whosoever will may come. The invitation is open to all who are thirsty, not restricted to a select group.
Les explains that he has long taught that salvation is not limited to a few; the potential is there for everyone, since "whosoever will may come." He points to verse 17, where the Spirit and the Bride say, "Come," and let him that heareth say, "Come"; let him that is athirst come. He also notes the warning not to add to or take away from the prophecy, which can affect one's part in the book of life.
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
