Don, you missed my point. You cannot tell just any one "Christ died for you." because there are no Scriptural grounds to make such an inference. You can say "Christ died for sinners. You are a sinner. If you believe, then you will be saved." There is a difference.
Matthew 1:21, Acts 13:48, Acts 17:30-31.
