My thinking that God brings people to a point of decision and allows them the option of deciding for or against Him also does not mean that I believe in the unrealistic definition of *free will* that some demand that it mean.

It is not as simple as: you decided.
First, God opened your heart to respond to the gospel, and then you decided.
It is a distinction that we miss sometimes, but it is an important distinction.
God is the first cause and must receive all the glory.

...that I believe in the unrealistic definition of *free will* that some demand that it mean. I hardly think that dictionary.com is promoting heresy in their definitions.
