Do we have free will in our own salvation?

This gets asked time and again. “Free will” here doesn’t refer to the power of choice (also called Creaturely/Compatibilist Free Will — CFW), such as choosing what you want to eat, or wear, or which movie to watch, etc. The Reformed position believes in Creaturely/Compatibilist Free Will (aka, all humanity has the power of choice).

What we will be discussing is Libertarian Free Will (LFW — by the way, this has nothing to do with the Libertarian political ideology/political party). LFW means that not only can we make choices (CFW), but we also have a choice in our own salvation. To the questions below, someone believing in LFW would answer ‘yes’, while someone believing in CFW would answer ‘no’:

“Does humankind have the power to freely choose to submit/obey/pursue God?
Can humankind freely choose to be saved by Christ on their own?”

These are the correct questions to ask when the layman speaks of “free will”, and it’s these same questions that we will be looking at today in Scripture.

What is the difference between Catholic and Protestant?

What is the difference between Catholic and Protestant?

This is simple question that has a long history spanning over the last 2000 years. As such, I will give the reader the answer in multiple stages. First we have definitions, because one issue with those in the Church today is that we can use our “Churchy” language and throw out words that non-believers or those not well versed in Church history have a hard time understanding, or because of culture, definitions have skewed from their original meanings.
