The important thing is the rhythm. Always have rhythm in your shaking. Now a Manhattan you shake to fox-trot time, a Bronx to two-step time, a dry martini you always shake to waltz time.

I completely believe in man's ability to choose what he most desires at any given moment.

Nope. Only if he is unregenerate. You can't please God in the flesh, you know.
Sx--Do you personally see man's free will in action when you read the Bible?? Or not??
Men choose, what is your point......... are you not able to see a 3 dimentional picture with a Sovereign GOD?
"A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing. A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away...."
You guys don't believe that man has an ability to place his faith in Christ??
You don't believe GOD can do anything without man's consent, so what.
"A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing. A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away...."

I'm not sure I'd put it that way. But in general, yes. Believing in Christ is pleasing to the Father (I would hope you'd agree). And since we cannot please Him in the flesh, it leaves us with only one conclusion. One must be in the Spirit to please God.

However, Calvinism turns the process around. We must first place our faith before becoming a child of God. Calvinism states that regeneration must take place before we can have the faith. And that's only if we're one of the "elect" chosen before the foundation of the world...

There is "your" problem. You don't believe Scripture.
"A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing. A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away...."
