Yes, 'whosoever will may come' means salvation is freely offered to anyone, but it requires a personal choice to enter, and it is open at ground level to all.
Les Feldick teaches that the invitation to salvation is always open, like a door at ground level that every person can walk through. The redemption price has been fully paid, but a person must choose to believe and appropriate it. Once inside, believers realize that God also chose them before the foundation of the world, showing both human responsibility and divine sovereignty.
Romans 10:13 — This verse states plainly that 'whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved,' directly addressing the open invitation.
The Bible states in Romans 10:13, 'For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' This promise is universal—anyone who calls on the Lord will be saved. In the same chapter, Paul emphasizes that the word of faith is near, in the mouth and heart, indicating that salvation is accessible to all who hear and believe (Romans 10:8). Additionally, 2 Corinthians 6:17 invites believers to come out from among the ungodly and be separate, with God promising to receive them, showing that the invitation to relationship with God is continuous.
Les Feldick teaches that the phrase 'whosoever will may come' represents the open invitation of the Gospel, available to every human being. He uses the analogy of a sheepfold door: it is at ground level, not on a cliff or across a raging river, so that anyone can walk through by choice. The redemption price has been fully paid—Christ died for every man—but a person must personally believe and appropriate that payment. On the other side, once a believer has entered, they see the truth that they were chosen before the foundation of the world. Les emphasizes that God does not force anyone; the invitation is always 'whosoever will.'
Yes, Les Feldick explains that the 'whosoever will' is always open, lining the shore of the river of life. He stresses that the door to the sheepfold is at ground level, in front of every human being, and all they have to do is choose to go through it. If they don't, it is not God's fault.
Les teaches that before entering, the message is 'whosoever will may come.' But after a person has chosen to enter, on the other side they see that they were chosen from the foundation of the world. The believer can accept this by faith, while the unbeliever is only faced with the open invitation.
The redemption price has already been paid for everyone; 'the most vile sinner already has his pardon done, but he has to believe it in order to appropriate it.' Through faith in Christ's blood, the payment is applied to the believer.
Cain vs. Abel: Why God Accepted One Offering and Rejected the Other
this rich Roman would come down to the slave market, he could pay the price of redemption, but he could also say, I'm going to take that slave out of the market. I'm going to take him home with me. All right, let's take our brother and sister now. These two beautiful kids, but they're slaves. They're in the market.
Door at Ground Level
Les uses the sheepfold analogy to show that the door to salvation is at ground level, accessible to every person, and one must choose to go through it.
Redemption Through Christ
Les references Romans 3:24-25, showing the redemption price is through faith in Christ's blood.
Pardon Already Purchased
Les teaches that even the most vile sinner already has a pardon purchased, but they must believe to appropriate it.
What Does "Babylon the Great" Really Mean in Revelation 18?
You've got 2 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 17, almost the same language as John used here in Revelation. 2 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 17, and then God says, I will receive you. Now that isn't that He's putting a condition on our salvation, but as a believer now, and always maintain that under grace God never says you will or else.
What Peter Really Said at Pentecost — Acts 2 Explained
Peter just got through quoting Joel who said that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. That's under the Old Testament economy. That is when the king says ten men shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew and they'll say I'll go with you for we've heard that God is with you in Jerusalem. All right now look what Paul says in Romans 10. Verse 13.
The Open Invitation
Les explains that the 'whosoever will' is always open along the river of life, and once you enter, you see you were chosen from before the foundation of the world.
Election from the Believer's Perspective
Les explains that believers are chosen in eternity past, but the unbeliever must hear 'whosoever will may come' and that God is not willing that any should perish.
Romans 10:13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
This is the key verse that states the universal promise of salvation for all who call on the Lord.
Romans 10:8: But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
Paul emphasizes that the message of faith is close and accessible, not requiring impossible feats.
2 Corinthians 6:17: Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
This shows the ongoing invitation for believers to separate from ungodliness, and God's promise to receive them.
The exact phrase is not in the Bible, but it comes from verses like Romans 10:13 and Revelation 22:17 (though Les focuses on Romans). Les Feldick uses it to summarize the open invitation of the Gospel.
Les teaches that the invitation is open to everyone, but each person must choose to believe. God has already paid the price of redemption for all, but it is only applied when a person believes.
Les teaches that from the human perspective, salvation is offered to all, but once a person believes, they realize they were chosen by God before the foundation of the world. Both truths are presented in Scripture.
