Does man have free will to choose salvation?

As I said, you do not understand what I believe.

When you read my explanation you try to put it in a context of what you already know. This is new.

What I said isn't said by others. It resolves the paradox of predestination and free will.

No one has done that before. So until you stop trying to make it Calvinist, or Arminiam, you won't understand it has elements of both.
What you have written (your beliefs( are very confusing.

Do you really blame me for not understanding you?

So your making your own doctrine based on Eisigesis.

I asked you before what the Biblical definition of free will is and you never stated that.

Does anyone really have free will?

One is either a slave to sin or a slave to Christ.

As I said, you make no effort to understand what I believe. I have explained my belief about free will, often and repeatedly.

As you won't try to understand my belief, there is little profit in repeating the explanation.

Because what you are posting is confusing.

You put the blame on me because I do not understand what you are trying to convey.

From post# 449
The children of the devil will act wickedly and do wicked things. Its who they are, but that is their free will choice. As for the "clueless", some of them will be saved, some will backslide and be lost. Once one of them is saved, they cannnot lose their salvation. They are equal to the Elect.
This says thats some will lose their salvation die to backsliding.

It also says that there others beside the elect who god will saved.

How is any of this Biblical.

Do you believe in reprobation?

Can't you watch the video a couple of times? Is that too much to ask?

I did watch your video and found that it is not grounded in Scripture.

However...

In Christian theology, the tripartite view (trichotomy) posits that humanity consists of three distinct components: body, spirit, and soul. This perspective contrasts with the bipartite view (dichotomy), which considers soul and spirit as interchangeable terms for a single entity, the spiritual soul.

Your theology of the tripartite view consists of Elect, middlites and reprobate.

What made you decide to create a new doctrine?

Are you not adding to God's written word?

"You must be born again": sounds like something every man must do to be saved.

From Gospel writer,

(3) The Necessity of the New Birth - "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again" (Jno. 3:7). Regeneration is necessary because people are by nature totally depraved. Without the new birth, no one will be saved. Dei, the Greek word translated "must," indicates logical necessity. By the use of such a strong term, Jesus indicates that regeneration is essential, imperative, and absolutely necessary for salvation. It is a vital link in the chain of sovereign grace. Some Bible students have erroneously concluded, however, that because the word dei refers to logical necessity, it also expresses the idea of human responsibility. In other words, they think that Jesus is suggesting that Nicodemus take personal responsibility for his own new birth. Notice however, that Jesus did not tell Nicodemus to do anything in order to be born again. He did not instruct him to make a decision or even to repent and believe the gospel. "Ye must be born again" is simply a statement of fact, not a command to be obeyed. It is a declarative, not an imperative, sentence.
