Might as well announce it. After some studying EU sources,the Greek grammar and vocabulary which supports EU it became clear that EU is true and became an evangelical uni. The journey was long. 40+ years as an ECT supporter to EU
Hey, I think I saw you posting on one of the Facebook forums, too. If so, you can add the link to this thread.
Also, glad if we were of any help in that.
Now go evangelize both of the Great Gospel Assurances! â you can trust God to save from sin whomever He intends to save; and you can trust that God certainly intends to save you from sin, whoever âyouâ are (I mean that youâre talking to).
Congratulations, James!
What is the difference between an Evangelical UNI and other UNIs?
I donât like labels much but do know that I believe in universal salvation. I do not believe in unconditional salvation since I believe that the Lord brings about the conditions. So I can understand why some are labeled differently.
EUâs are Trinitarian(most are,)believe that all roads donât lead to Christ(unlike Unitarian Uniâs)and we believe in a literal Lake Of Fire as punishment(unlike some UUâs who donât believe in a literal punishment).

I would say then that Iâm not an EU since I donât believe in the Trinity. Iâm not sure I believe in a literal lake of fire but I donât discount it either. I do believe in a literal punishment.
Not all purgatorials believe in a literal volcanic (or similarly otherwise) âlake of fireâ. Some do (like Elhannan Winchester), but most of us consider that a poetic description for something else (like Godâs wrath generally or Godâs presence more specifically).
There are Christian unitarian universalists, including some here on the forum, who arenât religious pluralists (unlike the Unitarian Universalist organization generally, although they do have Christian and even trinitarian Christian congregations sometimes).
I donât really consider âevangelical universalismâ to be a very helpful description, but it was the title of Dr. Parryâs book which the forum was created to invite him as a guest author for, and broadly it involves Protestant conservative Christian universalism. (Within the broadness of âconservativeâ as well as âProtestantâ. ) Thus for practical purposes we tend to include conservative Protestant non-trinitarians within the label.
