You don't believe that Christ death alone saved them He died!
Your problem is with the Bible.
The scripture plainly says that Jesus tasted death for EVERYONE, Hebrews 2:9.
You don't believe what the scriptures say. Instead you embrace the doctrine of a heretic.

You don't believe the scripture, you don't believe that Christ death saved them He died for.
Of course we do. You just have no clue who that is.
I believe that Jesus died for the sins of the whole world just like the Bible says, 1 John 2:2.
You don't believe that. You prefer the words of a heretic over the word of God.

You don't believe that His Death alone saved them He died for, nor do you believe and understand who the World is He died for.
You stand in rejection of salvation by grace through faith. You are lost.

You are in a lost state, teaching salvation by works, by what a person does
Pate is right, you are wrong.
The Gospel calls for a response. No response is a response.

Salvation by Grace is only for God's Elect whom Christ died for 2 Tim. 1:9, His Vessels of Mercy Rom. 9:23. And the Faith given them in New Birth is a Fruit of the Spirit Gal. 5:22.
The natural man cannot be saved by his own faith, for that kind of faith can never please God Rom. 8:7-8; Is. 64:6!

You don't believe the Gospel, you don't believe in Jesus Christ, you teach salvation by works.
Calvinism is just the opposite of salvation by grace through faith.
Grace means God's unmerited favor towards fallen man, John 3:16 is a glimpse of God's grace.
Faith means faith in the work and person of Jesus Christ, plus nothing.

The Faith that is a Fruit and Gift of the Holy Spirit is received passively when a person is Born Anew, Born of the Spirit. That's the only kind of Faith that pleases God, it's God-Given John 3:27. Then the following verse applies:
Rom. 8:9
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Titus 1:1
Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

You are in denial of the Gospel and justification by faith. You are also in denial of the many scriptures that tell us that Jesus died for the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2.
You are also in denial of the fact that people are saved by hearing and believing the Gospel, Hebrews 4:4.
You need to come to Christ as a repentant sinner and be saved. Trusting in Christ alone.

You don't believe the scripture, nor do you know what the World is that God so loved, you are in unbelief and darkness.

I do too!
There is only one world. It is the world that God loves and sent his only begotten Son to save, John 3:16.
