You ARE unschooled. Both Matthew and I give credit to our references.
And each time I quote more than just a paragraph or two, I contact
either the author or the publisher to gain permission to quote at
length and publish that quote. Don't you ever read the copywrite
rules?

You honestly don't understand the difference? Wow!

In my opinion only the stupid think their denomination makes up the
complete church.

I, and most Presbyterians, look upon all the Christians in the world to
be the church. We demonstrate this in that we accept any baptism of
any denomination as valid, which means we recognize people of your
denomination as Christians just as we are Christians. We think those
who think that only those in their denomination are members of "the
true church" to the exclusion of others to be a bid stupid, but stupid
Christians, not unchristian. We don't say that those who can't have a
meaningful worship service unless somebody brings a snake, are not
Christian. They are just confused Christians. A Christian of one of
the off-brand denominations, is just as Christian as those of the main
line denominations.

Let us not have any of that "my church is the true church, and other's
are not" bigotry. Of course us Presbyterians are very fortunate to be
what we are, but other Christians are just as much loved and valued by
God as are us Presbyterians ;-).

I must have missed you original request.

By "free will," I mean that man, under the drawing
power of God, is enabled to receive Christ by
faith. This freedom is such that the man can resist
this drawing, and choose to not receive Him.

Who has "absolute free will?" What do you ev
