Ok. Fair enough.

I'm sorry, but God is ultimately responsible for everything. ...also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works ALL THINGS after the counsel of His will. Ephesians 1:11 NASB

Universalism is taught clearly in the New Testament. It's just that people don't want to see it. The religious people lose power when they can't hold hell over somebody's head.

The word κοινωνία has a different connotation than English word "relationship." It has a much deeper meaning.

Where in the Bible does it say it's a "relationship"?

If you are worried about hell at all, check out www.tentmaker.org. That should put your mind at ease.

We were baptized into Christ at His baptism. That's good enough.

The rich man did not go to hell. He was in sheol. In any case, it's a parable.

What are God's requirements for everybody?

So you are saying that God leaves the most important thing in the world to chance? I would have to give God more credit than that...

So you are saying that getting saved is a matter of chance? Some people get the chance and some people don't?

God knew very well how man would choose. After all, he made man the way he is. So it is still God's responsibility.

What kind of God was set up the universe in such a way that everybody was doomed to Hell by default?

The Bible also says in many places that there will be Universal salvation. So I guess you have to take your pick.

It sounds like very few people will be saved. That's a good news of the Gospel?
