- Pantelism
Pantelism is a variation of
Christian eschatology that holds that theplan ofGod has been completed, both prophetically, and redemptively. The term "pantelism" comes from the Greek and means, "all things having been accomplished". It has a similar "inclusive" approach to that of "Transmillennialism" and its teaching called "Comprehensive Grace". Pantelism is often confused withFull Preterism , which it is anextension of. The difference however is that in full preterism, while the scriptures have been "prophetically", fulfilled, they have not been "redemptively" fulfilled; Pantelism views this as inconsistent. While preterism views people as born "lost" and must profess personalfaith inJesus Christ in order to escapeHell when they die, Pantelism holds that thejudgement ofHell recorded in the Bible, including thelake of fire , refers to the destruction ofJerusalem in the year AD 70. Apart from this distinction Pantelism agrees with all of the other prophetic events, such as other forms of preterism believe. With the Old Covenant system of law and judgment ended,redemption came toIsrael and so reconciliation then spread to all humankind, everywhere, afterwards, and regardless of a professed personalfaith inJesus Christ . Thus it is viewed by some as a form ofChristian universalism for it accepts the authority of the Bible, unlike some other forms of universalism.ources
