If Father can rescue no more than we Christians say, then He is an impotent, God who lacks wisdom, power and creativity. Blessedly, He is all of those things and more. Scripture is full of references stating very plainly that all humanity, in Adam, died. It also states very plainly, for open eyes, that those same ones are included in His final restoration of all things. Knowing this, all exclusivity, all elitism, all pride is banished from each of us and from the Body of Christ. He rescues the last lost sheep, coin and child. None are excluded, All are included. He is wise enough to find a way; kind enough to desire it; powerful enough to overcome all objections to it; gracious enough to accomplish it.
Think of it. Look around you at all the people with whom you come in contact every day. Most are "lost" according to the tenets of all denominations. Ninety-nine percent of all humanity never heard the Name by which all are saved. Ninety-nine percent! Let me say it again--99%! How are we so blessed, so chosen from out of all those who have ever lived? What a special place we inhabit, if we are the only ones to find refuge in that City which is Father Himself. What burst on me ten years ago, I share with you. My usual random thoughts, the thoughts of a tangential thinker, on this grand topic. If it is not true, I wish it were. If it is not true, I'm not sure I wish to spend eternity with a God who cannot or will not, rescue, redeem, reconcile all of His children.
If there is any one "doctrine" to which I hold it is this, "All humanity will, someday, be reconciled to Father." How glorious is that real Good News! How complete, how intellectually satisfying, how blessed it is to know that the bum on the street, the addict, the president, the pope, the high and low churchmen and the assorted dictators and despots will share table with me. Difficult though it be to believe this, it is a very real truth, one that will truly set you free.
