This is my point exactly. If God overtakes a person to believe and repent and that person MUST do so, how can that person have chosen God freely in the matter of salvation? I certainly believe a sinner is influenced by the gospel and the Holy Spirit to believe and repent, but this is not the same if the person is coerced to do so, where his power of choice is superseded. Otherwise the words of Jesus saying "whosoever will" are meaningless.

Then how do you deal with John 6:37:
All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will in no way cast out.

Will all the people the Father give to Jesus go to him?
