I think now believe in the the Calvinist doctrine of Predestination and I concur that man does not really have free will as we often think..Free-will is limited by the fallen nature... We can't fix that...but God has willed those He chose to be made free from the fallen nature that we are born to and justified and made righteous by Gods garce and our placiing our faith in His son alone for our salvation we are given the grace and drawn out of our sinful nature and adopted as the chidren of God. I believe Predestination is double. The only way to avoid the doctrine of double predestination is to either affirm that God predestinates everybody to election or that He predestinates no one to either election or reprobation. Since the Bible clearly teaches predestination to election and denies universal salvation, we must conclude that predestination is double. It includes both election and reprobation. Double predestination is unavoidable if we take Scripture seriously.
I would like input from my Reformed brothers who are also Calvinist on this.
