LOL

Ignore not ignorant

You are not reading well and you ignored this



John 3:14-15 (KJV)
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.


there are still two conditions in that passage

Can you be saved without Christ's sacrifice?

Can you be saved without faith?

those are conditions it is irrelevant who fills those conditions

they must be fulfilled

Sorry the idea that faith merit salvation is not a biblical one

and the ideas that it is man who believes is also a biblical one
There is no condition. It's "everyone who IS BELIEVEING".

Speaking of ignoring.

Sorry one must still be believing

That is a condition

One not believing is not saved

Hello

that is a condition
No kidding. Lol that's what it says. But that's not quite what you intended by posting that verse is it?

Condition for what? Being chosen? It does not say that

being saved

Are you now agreeing faith is a condition for salvation?
No. Faith is a gift by the grace of God. You are saved by unmerited favor. Conditions implies merit.

So we have established that John 3 15 or 16 has no conditions. They already believe. We are making progress, slow but progress none the less.

So you can be saved in unbelief?

Sorry you have not established anything

11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls— 12 she was told, The older will serve the younger. 13 As it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.
That is assuming libertarian faith is works. It's not. And God is not the author of Esau's sin, so that is libertarian. God predetermined Esau to be the one to sin but Esau by miracle libertarianly did what God predetermined. God is miraculous.

Is libertarianism Pelagian? Give an example of where libertarianism is not pelagian.

Nope, Ephesians 1:4. Chosen in Christ from the foundation of the world. Why are we chosen? To be holy and blameless.
This doesn't imply that there wasn't a libertarian condition. God chose the genuine seekers. In Eph 1:4 it is talking only to those who are already saved for whatever reason. They are the chosen.

Well the burden of proof lies with you if your asserting there was one.

It does not say anything about genuine seekers.

Since you teach that you put yourself into Christ it may be plausible you're still in Adam. No man takes themselves out of Adam, and puts themselves in Christ, but that is what you're trying to pass off.
Adam was libertarian and made a libertarian sin. We all died in Adam so we all like Adam do libertarian self-authored sin.

It is silent either way altogether. But since it's silent then it's not unscriptural to assume a natural belief in libertarian choice. So I don't have a burden of proof.

This proposition that provisionist are deists is starting to make more and more sense.
God interacts with His creation. Deism doesn't. So you are wrong. But predetermination has God predetermining both sides of debates making Him merely talking to Himself.

Never said He didn't. Another straw man.

Created the plan of salvation? Lol back to being a Open Theist?

God cannot save you unless you make the right choice. He makes a plan and you do the rest. Congrats, that's merit based theology.
so if you were to say that my theology teaches man saves himself you would be a false witness wouldn't you

seeing as it is God who does all those things

It does not say belief is the reason does it?

"WILL COME TO ME", sounds irresistible to me.

If its conditional it's merit based.
belief is a condition

Acts 16:31 (KJV)
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

John 20:31 (KJV)
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
