I don't start with the philosophy of ' freewill '
I start with:
The Bible Comes from God.
2. The Bible is true.
3. The central idea of Christianity is the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Christ on the Authority of Scripture.
The Bible is to be approached and interpreted inductively.
Observe what the text says.

It is not philosophy to state that the will of God reigns supreme. It is axiomatic.
If it pleases you and if you have time can you please quote as many Scriptures as you can find pertaining to the supremacy the will of man as it pertains to salvation. I am trusting in your intercession so that the board will have the benefit of a balanced view of this important topic.
Again........a selection of Scriptures that point to the supremacy of the will of man as it pertains to salvation.

In my opinion ALL believers do walk in good works. Some more some less. Some bear tremendous fruit some...... a few shriveled grapes. The children of wrath however do no good works, They are only capable in their fallenessness of doing bad good works not good good works (works that glorify God). The unsaved are doing the equivalent to pagans burning sacrifices for their idols.
Yes. Always. When God wants to accomplish His purposes they never fail. No need for me to quote Scripture everyone knows them. I don't think anyone wants to argue that point.
The problem for unbelievers is that God can limit his Will, His power, His grace. And He has every right to do this also. Example: God can simply withhold his lovingkindness and bring no rain.
Rom 9:15
For He says to Moses: "I will show mercy to whom I may show mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I may have compassion."
