True but I believe God game to save only the ones who believe. We have bold confidence in Him because He granted us repentance

Yes, a choice can be predetermined by God and yet still be a 100% normal choice according to the person's will.

I don't know what you are talking or why you are using your children as an example. we are a fallen, perverted, warped creation. God does everything for His glory, not ours

I sort of agree but how? Personally I don't know how it's possible. Do you believe that one can fight God off, somehow turn from Him when He calls us; when He drags us to Him?
