Now if faith is simply of free will, and is not given by God, why do we pray for those who will not believe, that they may believe? This it would be absolutely useless to do unless we believe that Almighty God is able to turn to belief wills that are perverse and opposed to faith. - Augustine

"If love requires a libertarian free will, as some teachers assert, then what do they make of the glorified saints who are sealed in righteousness and have no ability to choose otherwise? At the resurrection of all those made righteous, sin will be vanquished and our new nature is such that it will only be able to love God. This is how the Bible defines freedom...true freedom, that is, freedom from sin and its dominion." (John 8:34-35; Rom 6:5-7; Rom 8:21-23)
