Here you go.
It's your thread, but you have no provided any scripture to back your argument, especially that salvation precedes repentance.
There's a ton of verses saying otherwise.

Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

The order is confess and believe, then salvation, not salvation before confession and belief.

God's Love is his greatest glory.
What do you mean by loving his glory?
God so loved the world that he gave his Son (John 3:16). Some try to take kosmos (“world”) here to refer to the elect, but the evidence of the word’s usage in John’s Gospel works against the suggestion.
  1. The New Thayer’s Greek English Lexicon: (coded under Strong’s #2889) p.357, point #5 reads - “the inhabitants of the earth, men, the human race” citing John 3:16. No definition of “believers only” is found or even implicated.
  2. Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance: #2889 for John 3:16, “the world (in a wide or narrow sense, incl. it’s inhab., lit. or fig.)”. No definition of “believers only” is found or even implicated.
  1. International Dictionary of New Testament Theology: vol.1, p.524-525, states the meaning of “kosmos in the inclusive sense of “world” under three connotations: (1) the universe, (2) as earth, and (3) humanity, “the place and object of God’s saving activity” (p.524). Respecting the Gospel of John in particular, it states that the predominant meaning of kosmos is “the world of men…under different aspects.” No definition of “of believers only” is found or even implicated.
  2. Robertson’s Word Pictures in the New Testament: vol.5, p.50, “The world (ton kosmon). The whole cosmos of men, including Gentiles, the whole human race.” No definition of “believers only” is found or even implicated.

:) lol I like how some are giving scripture yet.. a Christ died for the SIN of the world. Or is this just OT? Even then when? Well before law there was no sin. And this question has been around ALONG time lol This doesn't make one think about Justice and mercy.

Can't just use one verse God spoke to Moshe about and forget all the rest. "‘I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." There.. He has mercy and compassion. And He proved it by dying for the WORLDS sin.

No faith? I’m pretty sure there’s something about faith in there.

I know what a believer should do. But none of that merits salvation.

Says you. No new arguments here, just the same verse I always post along with the same questions.

In the following scripture, does a self proclaimed born again Christian merit heaven if they live and evil life?

And same scenario, but do they merit heaven if they live a good life?

John 5:28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.

If this is your definitive verse, define good and evil as is meant here.
