My Beliefs as a Christocentric Universalist

Q & A
Topic: Heaven
Do you believe that all roads/religions lead to heaven? No.
Do you believe Jesus is the only way to relationship with Daddy-God and to Heaven? Yes (John 14:6)
Do you believe Jesus will get everyone in to Heaven? YES
(John 12:32, Rom 5:18, 2 Cor 5:19, Col 1:19-20, Isa 45:23, Phil 2:10)

Topic: Hell
Do you still believe in Hell? Yes.
Do you believe that Hell is separation from God? No
(Psalm 139:8, 2 Thes 1:9 KJV).
What is Hell?
Our God is a consuming fire (Deut 4:24, Heb 12:29).
God is love (1 John 4:16).
His love is a passionate fire (Song of Songs 8:6-8).
Fire purifies and cleanses (Zeph 3:8-9, Isa 6:6-7).
Hell is the refiner’s fire (Mal 3:2).
Why do people go to Hell? Disbelief only
(John 3:16-18, John 6:29, Eph 2:6-8, Heb11:6).
Can people repent after death? Yes
(John 5:25, 1 Peter 3:19-4:6, Rev 21:24-26; 22:14, Ezekiel 16:53).

Topic: Jesus’ Death
Why did Jesus have to die?
To save us from DEATH and resurrect us to LIFE
(Gen 2:17, Rom 6:23, 2 Cor 5:14-19).
Did Jesus die to save us from sin? YES
(John 1:19, Rom 6:6, 2 Cor 5:21).
Did Jesus die to save us from Hell? No (there are no verses that speak of the cross in conjunction with hell).
Who did Jesus save? The whole world / ALL
(John 1:19, 3:16-17, 4:42, 6:39-40, 12:32, 12:47, Rom 3:23-24, 5:18-19, 11:25-32, 2 Cor 5:19, Col 1:19-20).

Topic: Judgement & Salvation
Is there a futuristic judgement of the world?
Both judgement and salvation happened spiritually before the foundation of the world (Eph 1:4, Rev 13:8).
They happened in time at the cross (John 12:31-32, 16:8-10). 
They are happening and will happen in the future until all believe (Heb 10:30, 2 Peter 3:7-9).

Do you still believe in the Trinity? Yes.
Do you still believe in Satan? Yes.
Do you still believe in Jesus? Absolutely 100%
Hence my use of the word Christocentric: Jesus at the centre.
It’s all about Jesus.
Jesus is saviour of the world.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
Jesus is all in all. Amen.
