And yet and still again, John 3:16 nullifies that belief. That Jesus died on the cross and paid the sin debt for only those God predetermined to salvation.
John 3:16 is defined in the next two verses the whole context is needed.
.John 3:16 shows us judgement (death) as in :"You shall surely die" has already begun with Adam ..Its appointed for all men do die once. Only those given a new spirit and heart will raise on the last day . Those who names are found in the Lambs book of life from the foundation when God performed the will of his work .They alone will rise and receive the promise on the last day when we receive our new incorruptible bodies . Neither male nor female, Jew nor gentile.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:17-18
He gives us the power as the authority of his name that works in those who beleive so that we can beleive. Those who do perform that doing it in their own name are like those in Mathew 7 . The many that Christ said depart from me I never knew you calling them workers of iniquity. He did not say good works were not performed that the gospel did not do its work of Christ. But rather who performed them? The Potter or the clay, the work God is working out his will, as a work of faith ?.
We must be careful how we hear what the Holy Spirits says to the churches or denominations.
He did not come into the world to judge it. It was already judged in the garden when God saw pride in the heart of his most beautiful created messenger Satan .The glory of God departed .It would seem at the end of day three. .God corrupted the whole creation. The death sentence as in dying had come as the wrath of God revealed by what the eyes see even today . . . .death.
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. Ezekiah 2813-14
