Some people give a very simple answer to this question. They say that God saved you because you put your trust and faith in Christ when you answered the summons of the gospel. That is the Gospel Message. Simply put, God saves those who put their faith and trust in Christ.
Everything that Sproul says after that is an argument against this Gospel truth.
But the deeper question is.....
In essense Sproul is rejecting the Gospel. He thinks it is too simple.

From the article:
Some say that God foresees the choices of people. I think that takes the very heart out of the biblical teaching.
I believe this fairly represents your view of foreknowledge-based Election, doesn't it?

In essense [sic] Sproul is rejecting the Gospel. He thinks it is too simple. How is he doing that?
BTW, the Gospel *is* simple.

Just heard Dr. Laura say that, Biblically, man has a free will.
Is there such a thing as a Jewish Arminian?
