I find it somewhat ironic that the people who walk down the aisles singing “I surrender all” are so unwilling to surrender their free will.

How do you know they're unwilling to surrender their *free will*? Have you talked to them all and asked them? They told you?

Are you going by the unrealistic definition of free will that cannot exist that we keep being quoted?

You keep harping on this. I got the definition from the dictionary. Please provide a definition from a realiable source that you feel is more realistic.

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.

Those are the people who stubbornly cling to their free will while claiming that through the exercise of their own free will they have surrendered all.
