RE: [asa] Bloesch on the Fall (was "Adam and the Fall")

Hi Gordon:

I'm sorry, I don't see a conflict. "Everyone who calls on the name of
the Lord will be saved." Everyone who comes to my house on Thanksgiving
Day will leave with a full tummy. Does this suggest that all those who
don't come to my house will go hungry?

By all means we should spread the gospel message to all. No quarrel
from me about that. But just as I am sure of what happens for those who
confess Christ I don't have the same degree of certainty as to the
consequences for those have never had the opportunity to hear. If that
is a failing of mine rest assured it's not the only one.

This doesn't square with Romans 10:13-15.
