Is it really fair/accurate/appropriate to consider the Bible God as a single choice ??
For instance, a believer might go for 'this' God:
Proverbs 30 (KJV)
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
And another believer might be in it with 'this' God:
2 Thessalonians 2 (KJV)
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
That's 2 different Gods. Just having someone say they believe in 'both' would not satisfy either God and they'd be in trouble as a result.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
