No — not all people born of Adam will be in glory; salvation through Christ is offered to everyone but is received only by those who personally believe.
Adam's one offense placed every human being under condemnation, but Christ's death and resurrection opened the way back for all. God's grace is greater than Adam's sin, and it has appeared to every person. Yet this salvation is a gift, not an automatic outcome. It must be received by faith, and those who do not believe remain outside of glory.
Romans 5:15 — Contrasts the offense of Adam, which brought death to many, with God's grace and gift through Christ, which abounds to many.
Romans 5:17 — Shows that those who receive the gift of righteousness reign in life, indicating personal reception of grace.
Titus 2:11 — States that the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.
According to Scripture, through one man's offense, death passed upon all men, and all have sinned (Romans 5:12; Romans 3:23). Every person born of Adam is under condemnation because of that first sin. Yet the Bible also reveals that God's grace is greater. The free gift of grace by one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded to many (Romans 5:15). Those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17). Scripture also says that the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men (Titus 2:11), indicating the offer is universal. At the same time, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; believers shall bear the image of the heavenly in a glorified body (1 Corinthians 15:49-50).
Les Feldick teaches that Adam plunged the entire human race into condemnation, and as a result every person, black or white, Jew or Gentile, is under that condemnation. Yet God is not severe, because He has made a way back for every human being through Christ's death on the cross. Christ restored what Adam lost, and the grace of God is greater than Adam's offense. However, Les stresses that this restoration is not automatic. He explicitly says, 'It's based on choice. It isn't automatic. That's universalism, and we have to reject that.' God has given every human being the opportunity to choose salvation, and it is free for the asking. The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men in one way or another, so no one is excluded from the provision. Les also clarifies that salvation is a gift received when a person believes the gospel — that Christ died, was buried, shed His blood, and rose again. When we believe, God imputes Christ's righteousness to us. Those who never believe do not receive that righteousness. Because many choose not to believe, not all people born of Adam will be in glory.
No. Les Feldick rejects universalism. He teaches that although Adam's fall brought condemnation on all and Christ's death restored the way back for all, it is based on choice. 'It isn't automatic' — man is given full opportunity to choose, and salvation is free for the asking. God made man with a will and allowed choice, otherwise humans would be robots.
According to Les, the only remedy for sin is the gospel — that Christ died, was buried, shed His blood, and rose from the dead. When a person believes it, God imputes His righteousness, none of our own. The gift is not earned; it is received by faith. As Romans 5:17 says, it is 'they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness' who reign in life.
Why Adam's Sin Condemned You — Romans 5 Explained
And then, of course, we'll be ruling and reigning with Him on the earth. All right, now then, let's come back to 1 Corinthians again, if you will, chapter 15. Now going on to verse 49. Verse 48 shows that things that are earthy are earthy. Things that are heavenly are heavenly.
Adam's Universal Condemnation
Every human being is under condemnation because of Adam, and the grace of God through Christ abounds to all who believe.
Grace Greater Than Adam's Offense
God has made the way back for every human being through Christ; the grace of God is greater than what Adam did.
The 3 Requirements for Redemption: Person, Blood, and Power
We don't deserve it. I don't deserve it. Nobody does. But it's by His grace that He's seen fit to do it. And then if you'll come down to verse 12, all this God has done that we should be to the praise of His glory. How many people—and I'm afraid too many times this is especially when we have children saved—are merely saved as a fire escape. They just want to not go to hell.
Salvation Depends on Choice
Christ restored what Adam lost, but it's based on choice, not automatic; universalism is rejected, and salvation is free for the asking.
Grace Available to All
The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, giving every person an opportunity.
Faith in the Gospel
The only remedy for sin is the gospel; when we believe, God imputes His righteousness to us, none of our own.
God Sovereignly Gave Man a Choice
Man was not made a robot; God allowed the alternative so man could exercise choice, and death passed on all through Adam.
Romans 5:12: Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Establishes that Adam's sin brought death to every human being.
Romans 5:15: But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Shows the grace of God through Christ is greater than the condemnation brought by Adam.
Romans 5:17: For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
Indicates that reigning in life is for those who receive grace and righteousness.
Romans 3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Confirms that all humans are sinners and fall short of God's glory.
Titus 2:11: For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Declares that the saving grace of God is available to every person.
1 Corinthians 15:50: Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Explains that the natural body must be changed to enter God's kingdom.
No. Les Feldick teaches that while Christ's death opened the way back for everyone, salvation is based on choice. It is not automatic; universalism must be rejected. A person must personally believe the gospel to receive salvation.
Les says the only remedy for sin is the gospel — that Christ died, was buried, shed His blood, and rose from the dead. When you believe it, God imputes His righteousness to you. It's a gift, free for the asking.
Yes. Les explains that every offspring of Adam is under condemnation because Adam's sin brought death upon all. All have sinned, as Romans 3:23 states.
