The truth is, all won't be one. All will not make it to heaven. Broad is the way that leads to destruction and many find it. Only a few are willing to come God's way.
You are once again, funny.
You don't understand anything.
When I write "Till all are one", IT IS NEVER USED IN THE SENSE OF UNIVERSAL SALVATION OF EVERY MAN, WOMAN, and CHILD.
For your information, there is coming a day when there will be no denominations. No RCC, No Eastern Orthodox, No Presbyterian, No Baptists, No Charasmatics.
There is coming a day when no matter what denomination your belong to, as a "Christian", we will "all be one".
Just some FYI friend.
You are trying to make out that God IS a respecter of persons, and some He likes and so saves them - but some He does not like, and will not save them.
No, actually, that is what scripture says. (cf. Mal. 3:1; Rom. 9:10-13)
Sorry, that is not the God we serve. He is NO respecter of persons. He will NOT favor one over another. The truth is, if ANY seek Him with faith believing, He will not turn them away. He is not willing that ANY should perish - yet the same book tells us that the majority perish.
Not once in this thread have I said God was a respecter of persons. I challenge you to produce here, right now, any post where I said that.
Another thing you have failed to realize is what "kind" of faith do you have before regeneration? I have faith that if I put my key in my trucks ignition, that new battery I bought two months ago will start it. But will that same "kind" of faith save? No, but according to you, it will.
In the scripture we read:
"And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears,
Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief." -Mk. 9:20-24 (KJV)
Here is a man that heard of this "Jesus of Nazareth", heard of the "miracles", "healing", etc. Brought his son to this "Jesus of Nazareth". So, it is obvious that this man had some "kind" of faith. But was it a soul saving faith? No, we know this because of what is recorded:
"Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief." Here is a man who believed, but yet unbelieved. Had some faith, but not saving faith.
John Gill writes:
"
Lord, I believe, help thou mine unbelief;
not forward, but out of the way: he found in himself some small degree of faith in the power of Christ, but it was mixed with much unbelief, through the greatness of the child's disorder; and therefore desires it might be removed from him, and he might be helped against it: he saw it was not in his own power to believe; nor had he strength of himself to oppose his unbelief; but that both faith must be given him, and power against unbelief."

Here I also cite:
"Faith is a topic that is probably the most confused topic in all of Christianity and since Satan is the author of confusion, the mess must be of him.
Most people think that faith is a synonym for believe so they think that they have to believe something is so and it will be so. Others link faith with determination and if they are determined enough that they will develop faith and then they can have what they are determined for. One Bible teacher classes such people as "white-knuckled Christians". They clench their fists in a strong desire to believe something is so and then they can have what they want. People even tell others that they are not healed because they don't have enough faith, or their prayers are not answered because they don't have enough faith. A Christian telling another Christian that they are not healed because they don't have enough faith is an awful thing to say. Joni Erickson had people write her telling her that she was not healed because of her lack of faith. Such letters hurt her very much. We aren't into the power of positive thinking, but what we are into is much better.
Some people use the illustration of having faith that a chair will support your weight allows you to confidently sit in it. Well what happens to your "faith" when the chair breaks? As we will see, sitting in a chair and riding in an airplane are not acts of faith, but rather acting upon our experiences in the world. As Christians we should never use the word faith for a worldly based event. We should say that we have confidence that the chair will support us based upon our prior experience, we have confidence that the airplane will safely get us to our destination; we have confidence that John will come to the meeting with the proper papers, etc.
So how do we find out what faith is? We should always first go to the Bible to see if It offers us a definition of any term or concept under consideration. In Heb 11:1 we indeed read a Biblical definition of faith: "Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen". This verse tells us that faith is a conviction that we have regarding something that allows us to be able to act on it as if it were assured of happening. But where does such assurance come from? A lot of people have the above scripture memorized but then when you ask the question about where does faith come from, you either get a "I don't really know" or somebody saying that it comes from within with the implication that faith is something we develop ourselves.
Now let us go to the Bible and see if It tells us where faith comes from. Heb 12:2 says "...
Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith"

So, in one way man is born with a "kind" of faith. But is it the "kind" of faith God requires? No, scripture, specifically Heb. 12:2 says "saving faith" comes from God, specifically Jesus.
You are wrong.
What did Jesus say to the Pharisees?
"ye will not come to me, that ye might have life." -Jn. 5:40 (KJV)
Fact is, no matter what you say, unless the Holy Spirit draws you to Him, you even if you were willing, would not come. PERIOD! (cf. also Jn. 6:65)
You have been proven wrong in the above post.
What is your explanation why the majority perish - take the broad way? Is it because God does not like them?
I'm not God, it is not my duty to why, or for what reason people perish. I do know from scripture that there are even some people who think they are saved, have done good works, etc, but on judgement day, Jesus will say to them "Depart from me, I never knew you."
God Bless
Till all are one.
