From His Word. He said ALL have sinned. He said that if thou shalt believe in the Lord, thou shalt be saved. He did not say All have sinned except Mary.

I guess it depends on the meaning of "ALL" ;-) -- "As in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive." As far as physical death is concerned (the context of 1 Cor 15), not "all" people have died (e.g., Enoch: Gen 5:24; cf. Heb 11:5, Elijah: 2 Kings 2:11). Likewise, "all" will not be made spiritually alive by Christ, because some will choose to suffer eternal spiritual death in hell.

This is just a possibility here, I cannot say for sure it is right. But did you ever think that Enoch and Elijah may be the two witnesses that Rev. speaks of that come and testify in front of the temple during the end times and then are killed? It is a definite possibility.
