Future Probation not Universalism or Pluralism

I here compare future probation to Universalism and Pluralism. Future probation varies from these in the some important ways.

Compared to universalism, the future probation viewpoint usually holds salvation is not necessarily universal, only the opportunity for salvation is thought universal. The intent is that all people are presented with sufficient information and circumstances to allow for a full chance to accept salvation. Several options are taken, that this occurs at the moment of death, that it occurs after death during the intermediate state, or lastly it occurs during a future judgment period usually occuring at the resurrection period.

Compared to pluralism, future probation holds that there is one truth as revealed in the Bible and that all people will be judged according to that standard. The idea of simple sincerity concerning God and religion is not sufficient to that view.

The knowledge necessary for salvation comes from one of two sources, those faithful to the Jewish Law covenant (knowing the God of Israel writes their names into the book of life) and those of the nations coming as gentiles through acceptance of Christ. Jesus Christ as messiah will deliver all of the saved and unsaved in the future kingdom of God. That kingdom then completes the education, correction and judgments that will lead to endless life for the unsaved (if they accept it).
