Come on old chap, I deliberately fired that at becker. 🙂
So easily it could have been fired in your direction.

Following the commandments ie doing the right thing makes one righteous.
Christ death cleansed the whole world of inherited sin... not Christians only.

The Bible speaks of those whose names were not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
"And all those dwelling on the earth will worship him [Antichrist], every one whose name is not written in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world." (Revelation 13:8)
They are not washed of their sins in the Lamb's blood - Jesus Christ the Redeemer though, He died for them.

John's Gospel says that "as many as RECEIVED Him" have authority to become children of God.
Rajk999 is teaching that those who received Him AND those who did not receive but rejected and disbelieved in Him, God gave this authority.
Here is the passage contrary to Rajk999's Universalism.
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become children of God, to those who believe into His name." (John 1:12)
Rajk999's heresy is that those who would NOT believe into His name also are given by God this authority to become children of God.
His teaching is that as many as both BELIEVED AND WOULD NOT BELIEVE are born of God.

This is not for God to be angry with those who draw near to Him BOTH in heart and with mouth.
" I love the Lord, BECAUSE HE HEARS MY VOICE ..." (Psalm 116:1a)
This man drew near to God with heart AND voice. I have not been advocating anything but this for a long time.
