In verse 14 we saw clearly that you have to make a choice to believe on Christ, now for verse 15:
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
If you believe on Christ, you have eternal life...
Verse 16:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Whosoever believeth in him.... What does that mean to you? What it says, or does it really mean a select group? Whosoever, means just that, anybody. Period. You cannot change it, it is referring to anybody, not a select body. You cannot find any limiters in this verse, it is speaking of all...
Verse 17:
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
So, is this verse speaking of two worlds, the first, all the non select people of the earth, the second a select group of people? No. One. For, if that is true, those who do not believe on Christ are not condemned... He is speaking of one world, of all men, therefore, all men can be saved, and according to the above verses, by simply believing on Christ...
Verse 18:
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Pretty self explanitory: If you believe on Jesus you will not be condemned at the Judgment because he covered your sins... If you do not believe on Jesus, you are condemned...
Verse 19:
And this the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
So, this again speaks of choice, men loved darkness, rejected the light, and therefore are condemned.
Verse 20:
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Again, choice. You choose to hate. Evil men do not want to stop sinning so they do not come to Christ...
For me, these verses along with many others in the Bible leave no room for the doctrine that somehow only a select few ever have a chance at salvation.
