The June 11, 2012 issue of Christian News seems to have three UOJs in it:
- The Kokomo Statements, which were almost verbatim from J. P. Meyer (three out of four statements).
- The Marquart version, canonized by Jay Webber as the norma normans.
- Sig Becker's version, which was somewhat criticized by Marquart and Tom Hardt, who still advocated UOJ.
However, the three versions (and all other flavors of UOJ) have the same foundation - world absolution. Everyone is forgiven, everyone is saved. When they called it General Justification, the message was the same, because (unlike English) the German for General Justification means "every single one justified."
E. Preuss, before he became a Roman Catholic theologian, taught that everyone single person on earth was born forgiven. Lutherans still quote that marvelous essay.
Objective Justification and Universal Objective Justification are the same. Some explanations have grown more extreme, but they are the logical applications of the principle.
UOJ existed before Halle Pietism, in Samuel Huber, a "former" Calvinist on the Wittenberg faculty. However, Huber's version was soundly repudiated by P. Leyser and Hunnius.
Bishop Stephan brought his sex cult over the ocean and established it in St. Louis and Perryville. Stephan's cell group ministry united the Pietistic clergy around him. Walther never had a Lutheran education. He had a four-year degree in rationalism and spiritual guidance in abusive Pietistic cell groups.
Justification by faith has never been eliminated from the Synodical Conference, but UOJ clearly dominates and persecutes the Gospel.
Many people whine about the decline of the SynConference starting in 1932. That was when UOJ began to dominate through the 1932 Brief Statement.
Today people ignore the institutionalized influence of Karl Barth (the Swiss adulterer), Fuller Seminary, and Romanism while cheerfully promoting UOJ, the start of it all.

A. Berean has left a new comment on your post "Chemnitz on Justification by Faith":
I'm a seminary student. I had been warned when I voiced concerns about UOJ and how the text of Scripture speaks not to make faith into a sine qua non for justification. To add to the confusion, we had recently studied the Majoristic Controversy in Bente's Historical Introductions, in which faith is a sine qua non for salvation. So...faith is sine qua non for salvation, but dare not be a sine qua non for justification...
