1. Are All People, Just as They Were Lost Through Adam, Saved Through Christ?

No, only those who are elected by God and united to Christ by faith.

 

Scripture

Romans 5:17

For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.

2. What Happens After Death to Those Not United to Christ by Faith?

They will be cast out from the presence of God, into hell, to be justly punished, forever.

 

Scripture

John 3:16-18, 36

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. . . . Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

3. How Can We Be Saved?

Only by faith in Jesus Christ and in his substitutionary atoning death on the cross.

 

Scripture

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
