It's always surprising that so many Christians are loathe to admit to it.

An interesting paradox, Dr. E. I believe Spurgeon once said something to the effect that Christians will broadly say they make a choice. Yet if you question them on their specific salvation they will say it is God's grace that saved them.

That's because you believe that grace is shoved down our throat, that love compells. God offers His love, compassion and forgiveness to all mankind. Man's arrogance and pride refuses Him.
