Christian Universalism...all will be saved

We've been taught about the false doctrine of universalism, which is embraced by several different religious groups throughout the world. But I believe there is an increasing number, that in the past were accepted as as 'christian', who have joined a group believing the doctrine of 'Christian Universalism' and their belief is that eventually all will be saved. There's even a Christian Universalism Association.

I was supprised to find that someone whom I'd been reading their blogs and seemed a solid brother in The Lord with scriptural comments and edifying words was a promoter of this teaching. Then he jumps into this sale of Christian Universalism(not someone that I knew about his background), it was so 'out of left field' that I thought he was just trying to get people to discuss it, but no, he believes it. The scriptures he quoted to attempt to prove his position were...I Thess.5:9-10; John 12:32; Phil.2:10-11; I Corth.15:22; Rom.11:26-27; I Tim.4:10

As I started checking it out, I find that it's not a new doctrine, and that (if the info is accurate) even the founders of the Anabaptist believed this.(I always agreed with much of the teachings of the Anabaptist.)

Anyone ran across anyone with this doctrine?

“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”
