The man that is regenerate has a truly free will.He can choose to sin or not sin ... to obey or not obey
The historical protestant perspective is Before the fall, men could chose to sin or not sin..a totally free will
After the fall men will always choose sin ( in Gods eyes)
After a man is regenerate he is restored to the moral creation state with the ability to choose good or evil
So the elect have the full ability to choose was they will.
God placed us where he wanted us, and we will desire to move where he wants us to move and so we will chose to move there. We are free to move where He does not want us.. but then He always knew where we would move and that is a part of His eternal plan
When God desires to speak though us He will, when God desires us to do something He will complete that work by giving us the desire to do it
The saved have the free will to make non-spiritual, non-salvific choices, what to eat, where to eat, when to eat, etc.
The unregenerate man is free to sin , the regenerate man is free not to sin .
