Another quotable quote from Hardt's paper:
...Huber insists that certain Pauline statements expressly make use of a universal justification terminology, which his opponents deny: "Never does Paul teach universal justification. For as far as concerns 2 Corinthians 5, the words ‘not imputing their trespasses unto them,’ they are not to be understood universally about all men regardless of faith.”39
The "opponents" (i.e. orthodox Wittenberg theologians) would have taken Hoenecke/Meyer/Kuske/Bivens to task because that's how they take 2 Corinthians 5. Here's what Bivens said in the October 2011 "Forward in Christ":
We're told in 2 Corinthians 5:18,19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, "not counting men's sins against them." The forgiveness of the world's sins is a universal reality to be announced and believed individually....The astonishing reality is that God has forgiven the sins of the whole world, whether people believe it or not.
Huberism?

Re:
“...called universal justification that whereby God, considering the satisfaction of Christ, has because of this become propitiated toward all mankind, accepting it as if everyone had made satisfaction for himself.“
Should UOJ now properly be called "Huberism"?

I suppose you noticed how Hardt came up with his own theory as to why Huber's teaching was rejected by Wittenberg. Hardt maintains that Wittenberg had no problem with UOJ so Huber must have gotten UOJ a bit wrong. Yeah, right! If you believe that, then you've probably already bought the Brooklyn Bridge and swamp land in Florida:
