In doing a radio program on the truth of God's electing grace, Jame White was challenged by a caller in regards to the death of Christ. "Why would Christ die for the whole world if God did not intend to save everyone?" He looked at my co-host, and he looked at James, and White made a mental note to do more study into that particular question. He grabbed Palmer's book as soon as he returned home, and began to read the chapter on the atoning work of Christ.

He said, I became a full "five-pointer" upon reading the following section:

The question that needs a precise answer is this: Did He or didn't He? Did Christ actually make a substitutionary sacrifice for sins or didn't He? If He did, then it was not for all the world, for then all the world would be saved. (Palmer, The Five Points of Calvinism, p. 47.)
