It looks like the term Pre-Forgiveness was coined by Nationwide Insurance and used in a widescale advertising track. Most of the religious internet references to Pre-forgiveness reference this flyer that they received and then related it to their own doctrine. It's interesting to see who found the term appealing.
(W)ELS in the form of their LCMS advanced pastoral scout Mark Jeske have bound themselves to Universalism in their central doctrine of UOJ. The Ichabod linked (W)ELS essays, which constitute their official explanation of doctrine, clearly show the outlandish claims of forgiven saints in Hell are not caricatures of the doctrine but quotes from the (W)ELS' own theologians. The caricature is their feeble defense of the false gospel. UOJ has its foundation in Universalism and that is taught in many cults including the New Age World religion, Seventh Day Adventists, Unitarian Universalists etc. When the Satanic Taize new agers are referred to as Christian by (W)ELS pastors, there is little if anything to keep them from coming together.
Here's a UU website discussing the term Pre Forgiveness.
“You’ve Been Pre-forgiven! (Open to find out how)” Unitarian Universalists of the Cumberland Valley."
