Yes, Scott that's my position without getting too technical. We may allow for some accomodating language here. God does blind the lost by means of not letting the word be effectual. I think it was Rolph Barnard, but I'm not certain, who said that all those who hear the gospel WILL be saved, however, no one can hear the gospel except the Lord give us ears to hear.
Heidi, your observation reminds me of the comparison between the ark (Noah's) and the gospel. The ark saved thoroughly those inside but utterly condemned the majority outside. The gospel is good news for the elect, terrible news for the lost.
