...isn't it God who determines one's ultimate fate?

If that were true, what need is there for free will? What difference would it make in accepting or rejecting Christ?

“If that were true, what need is there for free will?”

Let’s suppose that Christians are right and God requires that you accept Jesus Christ as your savior in order to be accepted into Heaven.

Doesn’t that mean that someone who may never have even heard of Jesus will necessarily be excluded from God’s kingdom in spite of their own free will?

***If that were true, what need is there for free will?***

The road to hell is paved with fallen man’s free will.
