Was Anyone Saved at the Cross?

Dr. James White has written a blog post where he posts a link to a previous article he wrote defending the reformed understanding of Jesus' atonement for our sins when he went to the cross. You can read the post called: Was Anyone Saved at the Cross?

I really like this article. Dr. White wrote that at one point that he was a "Four-Point" Calvinist. He struggled with the concept of the "Limited Atonement" just as I do. He talks about how he had come to accept all five points of Calvinism. As always he offers solid explanation of Bible verses. One Bible verse that I wish he had expounded on is 1 Timothy 4:9-11 which says:

This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance (and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe.

Command and teach these things.

This was one of the scriptures that those who argue against Calvinism use. I have not heard the reformed interpretation of this particular scripture. I think I'll call in to James White's web cast one day to ask.
