If universalism were true then the great commission would be one of the means that God used to bring people into right relationship with Himself, surely.
Paul for example was initially turned onto the Christian brotherhood not by men preaching but rather by an encounter with Christ. In the same way none of the figures in the Old Testament who are saved were saved by ways of the great commission.
Entertaining the idea that universalism were true entails that someday everyone would find being with God or the desire to be with God enjoyable.
#42 has some helpful material on this thought. After considering those thoughts maybe you would like to rethink the main question and answer again.
I found nothing in post #42 that legitimizes universalism but I did find yet another scripture example that contradicts it. I’ll go with the straight forward reading of scripture.
Luke 16:
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’
25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’
27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’
29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’
30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”
