Someone rightfully corrected me on another thread on the similar event that transpired with Abraham. God does not veiw these events as temporal but logical progression. They are not in time. God view this whole process as the logical process of election, illumination, salvation, justification and glorification. Understanding that you can see how the whole episode of Cornelius in Acts 10 is all part and parcel of the same gig.
God would never have allowed Cornelius to die because HE sets the time of our deaths. Cornelius was regenerated but not saved until later. But God does not look at time and it is all one process to Him.
Scripture? or conjecture?

Please. More ill-considered word-salad.
All men really means "all the elect"; world really means "the elect in the world"; any really means "any elect"; and now, after believing really means "logically precedes believing".
And you wonder how it is you get accused of standing scripture and English on its head? For the sake of your doctrine?
