In reply to:
If man did not have a "free will" and an ability to choose, then man is not responsible for his actions

Who says man does not have a "free" will. It is so free that he will choose Hell every-time if not for being born again of the Spirit of God. The problem with Arminianism is they think the human will is freer than God's will. But, they fail to understand that God's will is LIMITED--God cannot sin, God MUST be Holy, or He would cease to be God and declare He never was God. Thus, since man is created in the very IMAGE OF GOD, he has not a FREE WILL in the Armianian since, but a limited will. Dead things have NO WILL and man is DEAD in trespasses in sin and thus dead spiritually to God.

Until REBIRTH a man/woman will never choose for God. And I am sure, though you failed to mention it, where these verses are as well. If not I am sure I can post them. In the mean time go to the articles here and interact with them. If you have questions we will be glad to interact with you on them.
