No that is surrendered will, one is saved by accepting Gods Will, not by "free-will" No man can save himself nor keep himself saved by his own free-will, he must surrender his will to the Christ Crucified. Unless one loses their life they cannot find life, unless one surrenders their own "free-will" they cannot walk in Gods Will. How can two walk together, unless they agree? Its man who does the agreeing with God, not God changing His Will.Yes a submission to Gods Will, but it is Gods Will, not mans.12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: John 1:12
A person must choose of the free will, to receive Him.
Once a person chooses to receive Him, they now have the right TO BECOME sons of God, by continuing...

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
God's will is for not any should perish.
It's God's will all are saved.
Your free will has to be engaged for you to be saved.
Of your free will you must choose to receive Him.
The will of God in verse 13 is God's will for all to be saved.
Not God's will just for a few "elect" to be saved.
I hope you see the difference.

Let me just say this, anyone who walks in the Spirit of God, KNOWS that is requires that one be crucified to self-will. This "free-will" stuff is just not the way of The Cross.
