The Bible goes on and on about not being tempted by Satan. If man doesn't need Satan to be tempted, what's the big deal, such warnings would be entirely redundant. So the view that Satan tempts men as entered into humanity by way of Adam is biblical, as is the position we need God to fight Satan and temptation.
Whereas Pelagianism says you don't need God to fight temptation and cast Satan off of you, you can do it on your own. So I fail to see how my position even remotely resembles Pelagianism.
