Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Universal Restoration

The verse states that "whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved," which implies a condition for salvation (calling on the Lord) rather than an automatic or universal restoration for all people regardless of their actions.

Literal Fulfillment

While the verse speaks of a future event ("it shall come to pass"), the "calling on the name of the Lord" and "being saved" are often interpreted spiritually rather than as a concrete, physical, or historically verifiable event in the same way one might describe a battle or a famine.

Baptism Necessary for Salvation

The verse states that calling on the name of the Lord leads to salvation, but it makes no mention of baptism, either directly or indirectly.
