It is no secret – I am thoroughly Reformed and from that standpoint a Calvinist. There are many Christians I interact with that do not like the Calvinist position of irresistable grace and unconditional election. They like their free will, though I argue that my will is more free because Christ saved me. The natural will of man does not choose God (see Romans 1).
My question: if there is no irresistable grace and man is fully capable on his own to accept or reject God, what is the state of this concept of will in eternity? Is this concept of free will taken away and we are locked into the eternal state. Those that advocate against Calvinist positions – can you reject and turn away from God of your own free will in eternity? This seems to fly in the face of those who would be irritated by irresistable grace in the present.
I trust in my security in faith in Christ enabled by irresistable grace to secure me before God now in the present as well as in eternity.
