We must never forget the only way of salvation. Many believers are rejecting hell and embracing everyone is saved

I had a dream many years ago walking on a very narrow path and it lead to a door. The door was set into an impenetrable wall longer and higher than I could see.
There was one narrow door - the only entrance to heaven (Jesus)
On either side of the path was a very dark forest of evil..........multitudes of snakes of different types and sizes were upright and hissing and barring their fangs waiting to bite anyone on this large area (broad way)
People must know there is a narrow and broad way ...one to heaven the other to hell

I've been re-reading Finney's Memoirs, and I actually mentioned to my wife how prevalent Universalism was back when he preached. He had to deal with it constantly. Now it seems to be making a comeback, but even moreso among Charismatics and other main-streams.
People say we are 'narrow-minded' about hell, and I guess that's a good term in light of what you've said, but think about childbirth. Would anybody disagree that there is just one way to be born? "Well, I don't believe babies have to be born like that." Well it isn't gonna happen any other way. Is that being 'close-minded'? No, it's just a recognition of how the process works no matter how you believe. Same with salvation. It comes like it comes whether one believes that or not.

Some Charismatics have embraced universalism but many Evangelicals have embraced annihilationism. These ideas along with OSAS can very easily make people into nominal Christians and keep them from taking sin seriously, especially if they lose the idea that there are ETERNAL as well as temporal consequences to sinning.

The term du jour for the comeback of universalism is "progressive Christianity." Universalism is just one aspect of it, though.
