No, 'all' in 1 Corinthians 12:13 refers to all believers, not every person universally.
Les Feldick clarifies that Paul writes to believers, so 'all' in this verse means every believer is baptized into the body of Christ, not that everyone will be saved. He emphasizes that no unbeliever becomes part of the body of Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:13 — This verse directly addresses the question by showing that 'all' refers to believers baptized into one body by the Spirit.
In 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, the apostle Paul uses the analogy of a human body to describe the body of Christ. He writes, 'For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.' The verse speaks of 'we all' being baptized into one body, but the context indicates Paul is addressing believers. He is not making a statement about universal salvation; rather, he is explaining that all believers, regardless of their backgrounds, are united into the body of Christ through the Holy Spirit.
Les Feldick emphasizes that 'all' in 1 Corinthians 12:13 refers to 'every believer,' not every person without exception. He explains that Paul's writings are directed to believers, so when Paul says 'we all,' he means all believers—not the unsaved. Les clarifies that this 'all' is not limited to the 'most spiritual' or an elite group, but includes every born-again believer. He stresses that no unbeliever goes into the body of Christ; only those who have believed the gospel are baptized by the Holy Spirit into this spiritual body.
Les Feldick teaches that 'all' in 1 Corinthians 12:13 refers to 'every believer'—not just a chosen few or the most spiritual. He points out that Paul is addressing believers, so 'all' is limited to those who are in Christ. There is no hint of universal salvation in this verse; unbaptized unbelievers are not part of the body of Christ.
Les repeatedly emphasizes that 'all' includes even carnal believers. He references 1 Corinthians 3:1, where Paul calls the Corinthians 'babes in Christ,' yet they are still all baptized into the body. This shows that 'all' is not an exclusive term for a spiritual elite but includes every member of the body of Christ.
Les Feldick is clear: no unbeliever goes into the body of Christ. He notes that while people can be baptized into local churches and remain lost, they are not part of the body unless they have been born again. The Holy Spirit's baptism is an act of God that places every believer into the body of Christ, not a human ritual.

I'll go back and show you some verses. Now we were baptized into Jesus Christ and we were baptized into His death. All right, come back with me or go ahead, I guess, to the right, 1 Corinthians, 1 Corinthians chapter 12. And look what the book says. Don't listen to what I say. That's why I like to have the Scripture on the screen as often as possible.

All believers, even carnal ones
Les notes that 'all' includes even carnal believers, as Paul addressed the Corinthians as 'babes in Christ,' but they are still all baptized into the body.
1 Corinthians 12:13: For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
This verse directly answers the question by showing that 'all' refers to believers who are baptized into the body of Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:12: For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
This verse sets up the analogy of the human body, which Les uses to explain the body of Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:1: And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
Les references this to show that even carnal believers are included in the 'all' of 1 Corinthians 12:13.
