[Between the Lines]

This predestination to judgment is not one in which God actively works sin into the hearts of the reprobate. As Luther argued, God does not have to place "fresh evil" (Luther's term) into anyone's heart-there's enough there already! God works actively to save his elect, changing their hearts to make them love him. But he does not work actively to turn the reprobate against him-they do that on their own.

Passive Predestination? I don't think so.

By using the term "they do it on their own" this paragraph argues that the reprobate have free will while the elect do not.
