"Not if we are talking about the afterlife."

I wasn't. Please go back to my original post to see that this is so. I was talking about the fact that there are those in the non-Calvinist camp who complain that we deny free-will to lost, unregenerate men. However, our "denial" of their free-will is no different than their "denial" of the free-will of those saints who have been ushered into God's presence. The truth is, those who are "forever with the Lord" are "free indeed", and those who are "dead in trespasses and sins" are also free to do as they please.

As Psalm 14 and Romans 3 show, it doesn't please them to serve God, thus they don't.

I took it from this question of yours - "Will a saved, glorified man who has entered into the eternal presence of God have the ability to sin?" - that we were talking about the afterlife. At least I was.
