I come from an evangelical, then baptist, then non-denomination background (very weird progression but we tried a few different churches growing up and then I moved for work). I personally believe that salvation is granted by God to those who choose to accept Christ as their savior. It’s a bit tough for me to figure how predetermination and free will can both happen and not have one “override” the other. Can you give your thoughts on this? I’d love to discuss it!

@crazywriter

I’m sorry, the way you worded things confused me a little. Are you saying that both predetermination and free will take part in salvation but free will is more important? Or were you trying to say that God’s predetermination in any part of it isn’t involved in salvation?

I do agree that God won’t force someone into a relationship of salvation with Him. We can be stubborn when He wants to work on a character flaw in us but that’s after we trust and have faith in Him.
