Listening to James White

James White believes in Common Grace. I am listening to a Dividing Line today in which he goes through Michael Browns statement about the atonement. Around 45 minutes into this he gets upset about Michael's understanding of a particular passage and Christ Messiahship  saying that the OT does not differentiates the offering of sacrifices. Michael's point is that Christ work is worked out differently from the Non-elect, and the Elect so that Christ is not a saving Messiah toward the Reprobate, but is still a messiah. Now an issue with James Whites consistency is that he does hold to Common Grace - Now granted I am unsure if he would say Christ bought this common grace or not - but many who do hold to common grace (especially my pastor) would say that it does. In one sense Christ merits is for all (both reprobate and elect alike).
