It appears (to me at least) that Graham and Haywood are asserting (not suggesting) that none will be lost.... and that is NOT what Paul was inspired of God to write!

It is my understanding of the Light Doctrine that some people are saved/justified/born again; others who have walked in all the light they had are not saved but will escape the lake of fire; and those who deliberately choose to reject God are lost eternally. This is not teaching that everybody is saved.

that at death the spirit and soul go to God but the body awaits the resurrection.
