I didn’t mean you did. I was warning you to be careful. You seem to be suggesting that “the world” contradicted the notion of “only” “the elect.” The easiest thing to suppose that means is that not just “some” are chosen, but the entire world. That is universalism. I didn’t think you meant that, but that’s how one might interpret what you said.

Free will means that, although God sent His only Son so that whosoever believed in Him might be saved, others would choose not to believe in Him.

No universalism.
