[ John 3:18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. The belief Jesus is telling us we must have is not intellectual enlightenment you are referring to.]

Many people belive in synthetic Gods and Demi-Gods.. That takes belief (sophistry and semantics).. It don't take much believing to believe in your Father(of the family).. Because he sired you.. you cannot disbelieve in him.. Synthetic Gods require much belief.. OH! and clergy..

[ Luke 18:17 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it. ]

Little children are most prone to dream and create imaginary conditions.. Oh! and play church.. This comment was said after the Apostles argued among themselves who would be greatest in heaven.. Jesus took a little child and said this.. Yes Jesus was mocking belief.. I think you got it..

They may, but that doesn't make them anything more than false gods.

Our Saviour blessed us with proof. He rose from the dead and told us what we must do.

John 3:15-16 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

They also do something which adults have great difficulty with, they believe unconditionally.

This may just be one of those rare times I disagree with you. I think Scripture is clear in order to be a member of God's family you must believe The Gospel and have Faith in Christ Alone.
