It would probably be more accurate to say that Christ died for all men but Atonement is only applied to those who receive it.
Thus, all men are savable, but the Atonement is only effective if accepted.
If one doesn't get under the Blood, then one stands on ones own works (Isa.64:6)

One might say that , but unfortunately that is not what the word of God says

Jhn 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Jhn 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
Jhn 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

LOL!

Yes, it is by the will of God, it is the will of God that all men be saved (1Tim.2:4)

So when anyone is saved they are doing the will of God (Jn.6:39)

The Plan of Salvation comes from God,(grace), not from man (Eph.2:8-9)
