re: “Lastly, freewill assumes one can choose perfect good. My bible says that mankind was born into sin and is a slave to it until set free by Christ. I’ll keep my soteriology.”
Then, my question to you is, how do you know you are one of God’s elect? Is it possible for someone to think they are saved, but are not? Matthew 7:21?
The heart is deceptive, so are emotions - how do you KNOW that you really accepted Christ? Because you said some words of belief??
Anyone can say they believe, but how does one truly believe something today, that was unbelievable to them yesterday?
No, I believe because God has given me the “gifts” of faith and repentance. It has nothing to do with me.
