Can you show me in Gods Word where God says man has FREE WILL to Salvation? Salvation does require a free will choice: “But as many as received him, to them he gave right to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name...” (Jn. 1:12). That Greek word “receive” means to to take, to choose, select.” Jesus said, “If any man will come after me...” (Matt. 16:24; Lk. 9:23). To “will” in the Greek means to “have in mind, intend,” “to be resolved or determined, to purpose.” When Jesus turned to his Apostles and said “Will ye also go away?” (Jn. 6:67) The Greek word “will” actually means to “choose or prefer,” “to will, have in mind, intent... to be resolved or determined, to purpose.” Commenting on this passage, Cyprian said, “Therein preserving the law inviolate, whereby man is left to his liberty of choosing for himself either death or salvation...” Have you ever noticed that the command be ye reconciled to God implies that mans choice or consent is required for reconciliation to occur? This is in the imperative mood which means it is a command - commanding men to make a choice.
