Clear enough?

Yes, if I take your reply to mean that your definition of free will excludes whether to accept or reject God.

That what I wished clarified and it does in clear terms define the difference in our beliefs about God and man and free will.

I believe God is sovereign AND he has endowed man with free will. It is not thwarting God's will for us to exercise our God-given free will. Including the free will decision to accept or reject Him.

And I would say that if God calls you, and you reject him, you are more powerful than God. You are now HIS god.

How can you, oh man, deny God his will?

God does allow men the will to sin, but no man decides, on his own, to turn to God.
