Cute, but John Newton, the song writer, was Calvinist.

Also, your attempt at beign funny really doesn't work when Amazing Grace only speaks of the writer's salvation, so it does not really have a clear unlimited/limited atonement perspective just based on that. But, we know it was a limited atonement perspective because that was the view of the song writer!

- yeah huh - I new that - just trying to be a little light hearted ........suggest you loosen the 5 point undies a bit and relax

I also understand the original in the context you cite -

again - relax just a little young fella

Maybe true, but Olivia Newton John was not a Calvinist!
