| How is this answer NOT teaching unlimited atonement? | One thing we must remember is there is a underlying assumption that the HC is written for believers. Also, it is a fact that Christ would not have had to bleed more, be whipped more, nor hang on the cross longer to redeem anyone. | Does that explain why the HC is a lot more devotional in nature than the Westminster Standards?
