I don’t understand why Universalism is so wrong. Hasn’t salvation been offered to every man, regardless of lifestyle and belief?

For example, the anointing may be high in the church with everyone feeling it, but the seer might see water cascading from the heavens onto the congregation. If your ministry consistently contains pictures, visions, symbols, signs, then you are a seer. All seers are prophets, but not all prophets are
