All true Christians including myself believe that Christ died for the sins of all mankind everywhere for all time.

Please reconsider your statement. Rethink this clearly, please.

All true Christians including myself believe that Christ died for the sins of all mankind everywhere for all time.

Please reconsider your statement. Rethink this clearly, please.

 
Is it the TRUE word that makes you ask this question? 
 
Forget the TRUE and let's look at some verses to back it up?
 


 
John 1:7
  He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe.
 
John 1:9
   The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.
 
NJohn 12:32
   But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself."
 
Acts 17:25
 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.
 
Acts 17:31
   For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead."
 
Romans 5:18
  Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.
 
1 Corinthians 12:6
  There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.
 
1 Timothy 2:3-6
 3.  This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
 4.  who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
 5.  For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
 6.  who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time.
 
1 Timothy 4:9-10
  9.  This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance
 10.  (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.

(Note that the inference here is that while God WANTS all men to be saved, not ALL MEN will accept Him.)
