Jesus taught Provisional Atonement

It also means to give. You don't allow permission. LOL You give it.

Permission does not mean to give! Permission is something that is given, and the giving of it is an allowance to use or do something.

If you must do something to recieve it. Obviously

You have the perspective that man does nothing in the salvation process; that God is the only actor in the play that has responsibility to act. Monergism says that man doesn’t have a role in the process, and that cooperation is not necessary or needed in the process.

Nobody says that God is not the sole source of dynamic power in the process, but rather that God has chosen that man has a responsibility within the process that is a prerequisite to him acting to save.

Peter’s admonition to the Jews on the Day of Pentecost is our mantra; when the crowd, after being “cut to the heart” by the Holy Spirit, asked Peter “What must we do to be saved?” Did Peter say, “Nothing!”?

No, he said, …“Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” (Acts 2:38-39)
