I'm not dogmatic on the extent of the atonement. Here's an articles on John Calvin's view on Limited Atonement. I'm not convinced. I think Calvin was inconsistent and that he generally seemed to affirm universal atonement. My default position is Owenian Limited Atonement that teaches that both the extent and intent of the atonement was particular. But I'm also very open to the mediating position whereby the Extent of the atonement was universal, while the Intent of the atonement was particular.
