When you consider free will, you must also consider man's ability.
Adam had the ability to obey or to not obey. We basically lost this ability in the fall.
After the fall God tells us:
Gen 6:5
Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Now there is no way possible to please God unless the HS restores the ability that was lost. If you think that man has this ability then you do not understand just how depraved man actually is.
So yes, you can freely choose to post on this site, but you cannot put your trust in God without the HS doing a work in you.
