"So, the unregenerated cannot choose God. The regenerated (as chosen by God) can displease God, but cannot "not" choose God (become glorified)."

Go back and re-read my 225. You will see that I used different verbs than you did, thus your conclusions are incorrect.

I will be so bold as to say that the unregenerate are commanded by God to obey. However, apart from the work of the Holy Spirit, in regeneration, they will never choose to do so.

You didn't answer my primary question: Do you sin?

No, as xzins said, I nailed it. Calvinism says:

The unregenerate cannot/will not choose/please God.
The regenerate can displease God but cannot not choose God.

You want "wiggle" room, but there's no way out. Either way.
