I do believe it to be possible that everyone in the world will receive Christ during the age of Philadelphia (Revelation 3:7-13).
However, Laodicea follows Philadelphia; and it should be clear that there are those who will become lukewarm and whom the Lord will spue out of His mouth (Revelation 3:14-22).
Do you think God is reigning literal fire and brimstone onto people's souls? Do you think people are burning in literal fire?
yes...that it the teaching of the Bible, isn't it?

Jer 17:9, The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Of course; now you have greatly evolved in your thinking for that you have rejected the doctrine of the Holy Bible.
Why are you posting on a Christian forum?

No....to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8).
The believer's last breath on earth, therefore, is his first breath in heaven.

I have rejected the teaching of bible fundamentalism, and never known a day since then that I have not been aware of the sweet presence of the Lord in my life, even at the lowest points of my life. I credit a lot of that to believing the message of Universal Reconciliation, removing any fear in my life that remained in the recesses of my being, after walking away from bible fundamentalism.
UR is a good thing and is good for your well being
ET is an evil thing(which you refuse to call it) and is very bad for your well being

The All Means Some Bible
1 Cor. 15:22
For as in Adam some die, so also in Christ some shall be made alive. But each in his own order; Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming, then comes the end, when He delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished some rule and some authority and power.
Rev. 5:13
And some created things that are in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and some things in them, I heard saying, To Him who sits on the throne and the Lamb, be blessing and honour and glory and dominion and power forever.
Col. 1:18-20
He too is that head whose body is the Church, the Firstborn from the dead, he is to the Church the Source of its life, that in some things He might occupy the foremost place/ to be in some things alone supreme.

And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by him to reconcile some things unto Himself; by him, I say, whether they be things on earth, or things in heaven. And you that were sometimes alienated.

1 Cor. 15:25,27

For this is good and pleasing in the eyes of God our Saviour; who will have some men to be saved and come to an increasing knowledge of the truth.
1 Timothy 2:6
For there is one intermediary (One who brings God and men together) who gave Himself a ransom in behalf of some to be testified in due time.
Cor. 5:15
For the love of God overmasters us because we judge that if one died for some, then were some dead; And that His purpose in dying for some was that men, while still in life, should cease to live for themselves, and should live for Him who for their sake died and was raised to life.
Col. 1:16

2 Cor. 5:14
For the love of Christ constrains/overmasters/compels/controls us, and this is the conviction we have reached; if one man died on behalf of some, then some thereby became dead men.

2 Peter 3:9

In order that in adoration of the Name of Jesus some knees will bow themselves and openly acknowledge with joy, in celebration and praise, that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. This profession and confession of His lordship shall be open and freely proclaimed, acknowledged joyfully by some beings in the heavens, by some beings on the earth and by some beings in the underworld.
No....to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8).
The believer's last breath on earth, therefore, is his first breath in heaven.
It's not only for "believers" at death, but for all humanity, all souls too.
Ecc 12:5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and terrors shall be in the way; and the almond-tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall drag itself along, and the caperberry shall fail; because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets;
Ecc 12:6 Before the silver cord is snapped asunder, and the golden bowl is shattered, and the pitcher is broken at the fountain, and the wheel falleth shattered, into the pit;
Ecc 12:7 And the dust returneth to the earth as it was, and the spirit returneth unto God who gave it.
The phrase "long home" (ie: perpetual/everlasting/eternal, is translated from the Heb "עוֹלָם") is also man's "appointed house" that Job speaks of, here:
Job 30:23 For I know that Thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
The terms "home" and "house" are identical in the Hebrew text. Our Father's house (Joh 14:2) is a mansion for all souls, insomuch as all souls are His (Eze 18:4). And it's For all living who are brought to death, even for the soul that dies:
Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine; the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
At death, the elements/entities of the soul (Gen 2:7) separate "one from another" (Ecc 12:7+Mat 25:32). The separation of flesh and spirit, wherein our flesh departs to the earth, and our spirit returns to God, allows the elements of the soul to be judged independently as sheep (spirit) and goats (flesh) as recorded in Mat 25:31-46.
