Pilgrim,

Of course there is freedom of will in external things but not in spiritual matters. For example, man has no free will to accept or reject the gospel. Man does, in fact, reject the gospel but not because of free will but because of his enslaved will.

Once you postulate that man is free to do evil (reject the gospel), you must accept that there is cause of salvation within man. This is completely contrary to all the solas of the Reformation. The Reformation fathers understood this but, apparently, this teaching is lost on our modern Pelagian world.
