For every man-made doctrine there are 100 proof texts to support it. It either harmonizes with the entirety of scripture or it doesn't.Ecc 3:14, I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
Salvation is the gift of the Lord, Romans 6:23.
And the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance, Romans 11:29.
God has always allowed freedom of choice to his beings with reasoning powers. God is not interested in obedient robots. If it were not so we wouldn't be in this mess. How many of God's people do you find in the Bible being forced into allegiance to Him?
