A philosophical or theological doctrine that bases conclusions on conditions, contingencies, or limitations; the belief that certain truths or outcomes are dependent on conditions being met.
From conditional plus the noun-forming suffix -ism. Creates a doctrine or system of thought centered on the conditional nature of truth or reality.
Theologians used 'conditionalism' to argue that salvation or divine promises depend on human behavior—basically saying 'God's offer comes with terms and conditions,' which sounds very modern.
