will unbelievers be saved in the end, those who are not born again ?Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. He is the Head of all authority and power. So He has won back the ownership of His own creation. In that sense MANKIND has been redeemed. But that doesn't stop any of us from sinning and missing the mark.
But He was also resurrected to bring us life. The believer is redeemed to life in the Spirit by the grace of God which is by faith. He was resurrected for OUR justification as we enter into His life in the heavenly realm of the kingdom of God. Those who die with Him will experience the victory over sin and death by a life in the Spirit.
The TRUTH. The life in the realm of the Spirit.
The power of His eternal kind of life sets us free from the fallen Adamic nature that sins. In Him is NO sin. There is freedom IN Christ. The truth is in the eternal life...that sets us free from our human weakness. The truth sets us free. Jesus is the way of salvation...the truth and the LIFE.
If we follow Him in His death then we will experience the power of His resurrection. When we are dead to sin in Him...we are under grace...not the law. If we sin then we are still under the law. God does not permit sin or lawlessness. The wages of sin is still death.

That doesn't sound like an answer to the question I will rephrase it.All men will be judged by their works. God will save whom He wills without consulting the religious systems set up by men.
Those that do what is right, love mercy, and fear God are accepted with God. The meek and the humble and they who don't judge others. If people don't judge others...they won't be judged themselves.
That doesn't sound like an answer to the question I will rephrase it.
Will anyone end up in hell/lake of fire and suffer eternal torment/punishment ? yes or no
thanks !
ok thanksThose are two different outcomes....or destinies. The lake of fire kills the soul...it is the second death. (not the second torture). And being cast away into an eternal wandering in darkness is for the hypocrites. The first is for they who are unrighteous and the second for they that transgress against holiness.
Are all men (mankind) redeemed?
Because punishment and justice is love. Spare the rod, spoil the child. What love is there in allowing a blasphemer, or worse, one who has impeded the way for others to be saved, to share communion with those who love and revere God?Here is a better and more provocative question: If God is pure unconditional love, how does He continue to love the damned in Hell, unless they can theoretically still repent, be transformed, and join the elect in Heaven? As evangelical writer C. S. Lewis famously put this issue: "The gates of Hell are locked from the inside."
No, hell will not be vacant.
You're splitting hairs with words. You asked a 4 word sentence, and now you go off into some dissertation in an attempt to answer your OP. Your question was loaded, and you know it.One has nothing to do with the other
Redeemed does not mean salvation
Redemption, Justification, Sanctification, and Salvation!
Redemption: 100 percent the work of God, thru the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ! All mankind are redeemed in Christ!
Galatians 3:13
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law...
Justification: our acceptance of redemption thru faith and baptism! Become a disciple and member of Christ and His Church! Mk 16:16 He who believes and is baptized shall be saved.
Sanctification: the life of grace, prayer, virture, and good works, the just living by faith, and faith working thru love!
All done in Christ thru His grace! Jn 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Salvation: a christian in the state if grace at the moment of death we enter into the salvation of the Lord! Mt 24:44-47 faithful servant! Jn 15:1-5 abide in me. Mt 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
John 3:26 "And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him."jn 3:26

A parent who does not discipline their children, does not love them. If the child refuses to acknowledge the parents authority and assumed righteousness, then, after all the patience and sufficient efforts to correct have been exhausted, then they must remain in perdition.
