I want to introduce Michelle Amirault, whom I am privileged to know personally. Her faith in our awesome and amazing God is a great inspiration to me along with her husband Gary. Gary and Michelle lost their son Scott last year whom some would say was not “saved”. Gary writes, “the grief of losing a son at only 35 cut much deeper than I ever would have imagined – even knowing he is in a better place. I cannot begin to imagine what our grief would be like if we believed Scott was being tormented forever in some hell because he failed God. It would be unbearable.” Read Gary’s journey story on pages 255-256 of Hope Beyond Hell.
Gary and Michelle’s belief in a God of unlimited love and power has helped them keep their sanity in this most difficult time. They have introduced more people to this profound and glorious view of God in our day than anyone else I know through their website, tentmaker.org. Gary and Michelle have sacrificed greatly for Christ and are bearing wonderful fruit for His Glory. Please pray with me for this dear couple and their daughter Elena that God will continue to comfort and heal them in their pain and through their sacrifice and toil, reap an even greater harvest of on-fire followers of Jesus Christ.
Yes dear friends, Michelle is right; the Scriptures do line up with her awesome statements about God.
I would like to share a few of those passages . See Hope Beyond Hell Appendix 1.

Very precious Spirit.

Good for you, Michelle, for seeing the impossibility of the God of love being a torturer rather than the redeemer of the whole creation. I am so glad you came to this.

Hi Michelle. We have spoken by phone over the years. Your video is wonderful. It was good to get to see you “live and in color” to match the face with the voice. Please remember, if you and Gary are ever able to come to Las Vegas, we would love to have you fellowship with our small group at our home. Death has also touched usrecently. June 1, our sister, Dunee Pinckney went home to be with the Lord at age 54. She had battled brittle diabetes for many years, along with neuropathy which caused the amputation of her big toe; and in the last year
she contracted Hepatitis C as well. She spent about a fourth of the year (on and off) in the hospital; but when she was home she was front and center at every fellowship gathering (we meet Tues, Thurs, & Sun—and the kids & teens meet on Friday nights.) She loved to celebrate the Lord in all that she did. She loved when the Spirit gave her a Message to bring. She and I and my two roommates loved to take day-trips to some place the Spirit would lead us, and have an impromptu Bible study and worship time. We miss her terribly, but we rejoice that her suffering is finished, and she is in the unveiled Presence of the Lord.
Death in the flesh is a jolt anytime, no matter who, or what spiritual condition, they are! We can only ask the Lord to fill the void with Himself, and He is faithful to do so. One day, about two weeks after our sister passed, I started to tell another sister that we were going to have to get our lives back to normal; but then the Spirit said to me, “The normal you used to know INCLUDED YOUR SISTER who is no longer with you! Now you must create a NEW NORMAL that is without her, but cherishes her memory!!” That was such Rhema to us! Our sister will always be in our memories, where she belongs; but now, we must begin living in a “new normal!” And that is what I offer you, with the loss of your son. It makes me think of Elizabeth Elliott who buried not one, but three husbands, God sent her. And after each loss, she had to establish a “new normal” so she could go on in her walk with Christ, to be all that He wanted her to be “without them!” And He taught her to do this by just “doing the next thing” until the wound was healed. Her testimony was an inspiration for me when the Lord allowed my believing husband to walk away and leave me with four children, because he couldn’t “walk the walk” anymore. That “death of my marriage” was a wound that took a long time to heal; but it led me into the KINGDOM GOSPEL, and the Message of ALL BEING SAVED! God has used my life in miraculous ways since then. Finally, the Lord spoke to me one day and said, “If they can’t GROW with you, they can’t GO with you!” He also told me about those called to Sonship: “If you want CHRIST AT ALL, you must take ALL OF CHRIST!!”
This is the harvest time, and the winnowing has begun of those called to the Manchild in this dispensation. We must expect the unexpected!
God’s sons are being hit with financial strain, physical strain, and relationship strain, but WE SHALL OVERCOME! Amen? God bless & love.
Your sister, Carole

God bless you Michelle. I thank God for you and your husband. Your video has truly blessed me and your husband’s teaching has as well. I pray that God continues to comfort you in the absence of your son right now knowing that we WILL one day see each other again as promised. I am grateful that the Lord called me into the elect as He has revealed His marvelous truth that Jesus came to save ALL and none will be lost. I am enjoying life like never before. Ask the Lord takes me through His word giving me understanding is priceless. God is truly SOVEREIGN.
I will continue to pray as you and many others continue to spread the true Good News…the real Gospel of Jesus Christ and God draw us and reconcile us back to HIMSELF. What a wonderful experience this is to come out of darkness into THIS marvelous LIGHT!!! Thank you Jesus has a different sound to me now. I love you in the Lord.
Be blessed and be a blessing.
Your co-laborer in the Lord.

How beautifully expressed~Thank you Michelle. In 1980, God placed in my heart an overwhelming and burning desire to know Him and the power of His Love and to seek him in ways that I had not yet experienced. I set aside additional time to pray, to read and study the word, buying a used concordance (no computer) I began in Genesis reading through to Revelation and then began again, then again. The word and Gods love were coming alive to me. I underlined, made notes and began to journal about the wonderful and loving heart of God. I compiled a list of over a 100 scriptures that spoke of Gods love and faithfulness to all mankind. I began having dreams, which to this day are as vivid and real, as when I had them. In the late 1980ties, I came to believe that God is the Savior of all mankind, yesterday, today and forever! I no longer believed in a hell that was created by God to torture most of mankind, endlessly, and forever. I would cry, saying, to the Lord, am I the only one who sees this in your word. One day I tuned in to TBN and heard a young preacher declare that Jesus was Saviour of the world. Since then I have been so happy to find out via the Internet, that there are many who are coming to this “soul setting free”, knowledge. It’s been 30 years of the best of times and the worst of times, but I am still on the journey, that I came to call, “The Elijah Task Journey, a Journey Out of Captivity.” FAITHFULL IS HE WHO HAS PROMISED. I’m now, Great Grama Hug Attack. Luvin ‘n Huggin ALL MANKIND, because HE FIRST LOVED ALL!

I read your book Hope Beyond Hell back in 2007. I had come across the Tentmaker website and found out for the first time that not all universalists are liberals who believe all ways lead to God. This was a shock to me. I assumed such a view could not possibly be believed by bible believing Christians. I read a lot about it at that time and although I could see it may be scriptural, I wasn’t prepared to accept it whole heartedly. For one thing it would get me in a lot of trouble with my Christian friends.
Then on September 9th 2008 my life fell apart. A policeman came to my door to tell me that my eldest son David had been found dead in a alley, he had fallen and suffered massive head injuries. He was only 25 years old and was so full of life. He was loved by everyone who knew him and I am extremely proud to have been his dad.
David had made a decision for Christ as a child, but he never fitted in with church. At the time of his death he was certainly not walking closely with God. Suddenly what I had been reading the year before became of the uttermost importance. How could I be certain where David is. Those who are Calvinists, and I had flirted with Calvinism previously, say once saved always saved but usually add if you truly believe. Of course the way you know you truly believe is because you continue to walk with God. So there was little comfort there. The same could be said of the viewpoint of Armenianism. In fact, the religion I had embraced as a teenager left me with little or no comfort. As far as it was concerned the likelihood was that David was lost to be tortured forever and ever.
How is it possible to continue to serve a God who would do such a thing to someone I love so much? How is it possible for me to love my son more than God loves him. Rather than comfort me my belief system tormented me. Other Christians would try comfort me by saying David’s commitment as a child counted regardless of how he was living, others tried to comfort me by saying I have to trust God. But how can I continue to serve God even if there is only a small chance that David will be tormented forever.
The fact is I know God is love. The traditional beliefs I held were totally against what I knew in my heart about Him. I looked again at what you and Gary had written. This was no longer just a theological exercise, it was of utmost importance that I gain a understanding.
I would like to say my walk with God has been closer since this experience, but I would be lying. Sometimes i do anything I can to avoid God. I pray and it feels as if i am going through the motions, I read the scriptures but they feel dead to me. There is no one in my church who would accept my understanding of ultimate reconciliation, and no one I can talk to about it. But I guess what is really still playing on my mind is what if UR is wrong? What if I my grief has made me fall into heresy? It is this sense of uncertainty that makes it so difficult to re-ignite my relationship with God. I seem to have lost my trust in him. I want to know him intimately again but I am worried that what Church tradition says about hell is true.
So I guess I am still searching for peace. I am hoping that as I read your book again and Gary’s writings, and in particular God’s word, that peace will come again. And I will trust and love the Father as I did before. The gospel as I knew it is certainly of no comfort to a grieving father or mother.
Paul
