Belief in free-will shows itself in the kind of preaching and evangelism that is most popular today, the kind that begs sinners to accept Christ, that uses altar calls, appeals, lightshows, music, decision times, raising of hands, and other such tactics to persuade them to do so. All these things presuppose that a persons salvation depends on his own choice, nothing more. We believe that mans will is in bondage to sin and that he not only cannot do good, but he cannot even want (will) to do it (Romans 8:7-8). Especially he cannot do the greatest good of all, of choosing God and Christ. We believe, therefore, that man cannot believe in Christ unless it is given him from above (John 6:44).
