I think we agree about quite a bit but I am not going to become a Calvinist and I don't think I will change your mind.

I am not a Calvinist. I have been accused of being one because I often find myself making the same arguments against free will worshipers that Calvinists make. Free will is not so much a gift as it is a curse. Your free will can never save you, but from an Arminian point of view it sure as Hell can condemn you. So what good is a free will anyway? We should all be praying that God remove this accursed free will from our lives and make us slaves to Christ.

What a great line!!

If not true, then why in the world do we sing, "I Surrender All"? Perhaps we should sing, "I Surrender All for Now".

The bottom line is that we're much better off as slaves of Christ than as captains of our own ship.
