Could God choose you against your free will? Is it possible that God could save you in spite of your free will rather than because of it? Or is your salvation in your own (free will) hands?

That's a false dichotomy. Primary causes and secondary causes operate concurrently, not overdeterministically.

If you can veto God's choice then the final say in whether or not you are saved is not God's. I don't think that is a false dichotomy.

The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary.

Can you explain that for all of us in Rio Linda.
