They post on the forum about how important their own Free Will was in their decision to choose Christ. The refuse to acknowledge that their salvation was entirely a work of God. They want to think that it was their own free will decision which brought them to the foot of the cross and that somehow they were smart enough or good enough in their own nature to gain salvation by their own volitional action.

Let me ask you something metmom. Would it upset you if God chose you from the foundation of the Earth based solely upon his counsel and that your free will had nothing whatsoever to do with it; in fact, because he loved YOU before you were ever formed he chose you and changed your will to His in order that you would then willingly come to Christ?

Would it upset you if you realized that YOU did not make the decision to follow Christ, but that God alone made that decision and that he changed your heart and your will to conform to his before you ever asked?

If you answer yes to either of those questions, then I would have to put you in the category of those who are unwilling to surrender their free will.

The fact of the matter is that until God changes our hearts our "free will" we will always choose the path that leads away from God because our unregenerate hearts cannot turn to God.
