Free Will?
"If regeneration were a reward for a previous act of faith
by our ... free will, God could not know ahead of time whom He could save.
The Arminians say God could look ahead and see who would freely accept
Christ. But if this 'looking ahead' were accurate and unchangeable, the
man's will would not be free. Some factor in the dim, distant past would
have had to determine the will so that it could not change. If it was not
God who determined the act of faith, then there must be some power beyond
God's control that did so, for a completely free will is not subject to
accurate prediction."
-- Gordon Clark
GOD hath from the beginning CHOSEN
you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the
truth: whereunto He called you by our Gospel...
-- The Apostle Paul writing under infallible inspiration
of the Holy Spirit as recorded in Second Thessalonians 2:13 (b).
