Universalism is the belief that everyone will be saved. Some sincere Christians believe it but is it true? Our only way of knowing is by searching the Bible. What we would like to be true is not necessarily true. What God says, is true.
What is Universalism? - Jack Zavada (Learn Religions)

Christian Universalism
Christian universalism is the belief that ultimately everyone will be saved but it will be because they have come to faith in Jesus. Salvation is available in Jesus only.
Annihilationism
Annihilationism is the belief that those who are not saved do not suffer eternal punishment but are annihilated.
