    Lyle-

    Sovereign God's is the only "freewill."

    The Bible only concerns itself with two classes of men...Elect and non-elect; dead in Adam, or redeemed (Born Again) from that first death (Rev.20:5&6). The "will" exercised by men in either of those kingdoms is predicated (based on) upon the governing aegis of either camp.

    With the single exception of God-In-Christ, death can't choose life, nor the pot the Potter. He chose His eternal family before earth was created, therefore--neither sin nor merit were factors in His Sovereign Election.

    As above, so below. Babies do not participate in their birth...it happens to them. So it is with spiritual birth... being "Born Again." God chooses when He will redeem individuals, and His sovereign grace (choice) is irresistable at that time. Man does not have the capacity "to choose autonomously against God's eternal purposes."

    Freedom is limited wherever there is a boarder, and both kingdoms have boarders. Only God does not. Men in either kingdom are subjects of, and to, the nature of that kingdom. Human will, therefore, is better described as "Predicatedwill" vrs. "Freewill."

    All praise, honor, glory and worship then are due the incomprehensible, sovereign God-In-Christ alone, Who truly is both Alpha...and Omega.
