It's not possible it could be the first because if a person only calls upon the lord late in there life, when they may only have a short time left, how are they going to keep the whole law
Blessings,
Blessings,
The first was just a common belief I've noticed with preachers who teach works of the law as an additional requirement for salvation.
It seems they think Jesus paid for sins past and they must help maintain a condition based upon behavior. That's what is considered probation, to borrow a legal term.
What Christ offers is a pardon in full.

can we discuss free will ?.
What type of free will does a Christian have before they where blessed with the fruits of holy spirit ?.
Secondly would you say there would be a difference to there free after they get blessed by the fruits of the holy spirit.
Look here.
10. Not My will, but the will of the One who sent Me (John 6:38-40)
For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me.
Are we to say that Christians don't inherit this will after they get blessed by the fruits of the holy spirit. ?

This too was a part of your faulty understanding. As is your failure to capitalize Holy Spirit (who is God the Holy Spirit). If you believe this then you capitalize Holy Spirit.
Every human being is born with a soul and a spirit. So a human being is body, soul, and spirit from birth. The soul is the person himself and is the immaterial part of the human being. It includes the mind, the will, and the emotions. The Bible often uses the term "heart" for the soul, since it is the innermost being. And all evil proceeds from "the heart" since for the unconverted person "the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked".
But all human beings are born with a "dead" (inactive and inoperative) spirit until they experience the New Birth. That is when the spirit is "quickened" or brought to life by the power of the Holy Spirit.
