Jhn 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.

Jhn 6:45 It is written in the Prophets, 'And they will all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me--

I have yet to find a Christian who doesn't say "Jesus saved me" regardless of how mix up their doctrine is.

I didn't post this so a discussion on the Calvinist cult could get going, but no one can be saved unless the Holy Spirit woos them, and they have the free will to refuse to respond to that wooing and drawing and to reject the offer of salvation or to respond to the drawing and accept the gift of salvation.

'But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15)

If God did not give man free will, He wouldn't tell man to choose who he is going to serve.

This is exactly why Free Republic invented the caucus thread option.
