snerkel: Simple question. What happened to those who Jesus called to be His disciples? Did they spend time "thinking" about whether to follow Him or not, or did they drop what they were doing and immediately follow Him?

IMRight: Better think throught that one again. If you're saying they didn't choose to follow Him because they were previously selected as part of the elect... can you think about one of them who demonstrated that perhas he was NOT elect?

Better read my post again. I made no statements, I asked questions. Would you care to attempt a response?

Your question implied where you were going with it (as did mine).

Answer? If it was me my thought would be "Jesus is here - follow Him." But it wouldn't be some hypnosis, mind control, or puppetry. "Drop what they were doing and immediately follow Him" does not imply lack of free will.
