Rob Bell and Universalism

Pastor Rob Bell of Mars Hill Bible Church recently took part in a interfaith conference entitled, “Seeds of Compassion.” The dominant theme that seemed to be talked about (and not argued against by anyone) was that of universalism.

Rob Bell is a very influential pastor. His church in Grand Rapids, Michigan reaches thousands and his NOOMA videos are watched by many Christians, including people at First Baptist.
