Who is the father of universalism?
The early Universalist movement was given its greatest impetus by the preaching of John Murray (1741–1815), who moved from England to colonial America in 1770.
What did Clement of Alexandria believe?
Like the pistic Christians (those who claimed that people were saved by faith, which was to be demonstrated in legalistic and moral terms), Clement held that faith was the basis of salvation, but, unlike them, he claimed that faith was also the basis of gnōsis, a spiritual and mystical knowledge.
Does the Bible support universalism?
Universalist theology
Some Bible verses he cites and are cited by other Christian Universalists are: Luke 3:6: "And all people will see God's salvation." (NIV) John 17:2: "since thou hast given him power over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him."
