From your link (introduction refuting Limited Atonement):

The true doctrine of the atonement could be stated as follows: The Scriptures teach that the sacrifice of the Lamb of God involved the sin of the world (John 1:29) and that the Savior’s work of redemption (1 Tim. 2:6; 2 Pet. 2:1), reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:19) and propitiation (1 John 2:2) was for all men (1 Tim. 4:10), but the cross–work of Christ is efficient, effectual and applicable only for those who believe (1 Tim. 4:10; John 3:16). We could even say it in a simpler way: "Christ’s death was SUFFICIENT FOR ALL but EFFICIENT only for those who believe." The cross–work of Christ is not limited, but the application of that cross–work through the work of the Holy Spirit is limited to believers only.

Race, I believe that your author has just expressed a belief in "Limited Atonement;" unless he wants to deny the Omnisicence of God and say that God did not foreknow who would believe.

In reading the overview, I have come to the conclusion that this author, apart from being an anti-Calvinist bigot (I note his constant use of the term "extreme Calvinism") has missed the points of some key scripture verses in his zeal to refute the Doctrines of Grace. For example, just see how he treats the verses dealing with life/live. He has gored his ox and doesn't even know it.
