***From our perspective we "choose" but from God's perspective it was determined from before we were created.***
I'm not sure what you are saying here: From God's perspective it was determined by whom?
I know many Christians who describe their conversion experience by saying they were drawn and couldn't resist. I think that most free willers are Calvinists until they are taught about free will, and then they start to wonder who choose who.

It was determined by GOD. At the time of conversion (myself included) it seems to the convert that they are in the drivers seat and "choose" to be saved, but in reality it is already determined by GOD. I fall into that camp that was drawn and couldn't resist. It really wasn't until later that I began to recognize this.
