I want to leave a brief comment before responding to some of the posts here.
I am inclined to think libertarianism about the will is true, and am leaning towards a Molinistic understanding of the reconciliation of divine providence/human freedom. Now Ron supposedly thinks that I am an Arminian, thereby, but I don't understand that all: (i) I don't believe any of the points of Arminianism, whereas I believe all the five points of Calvinism; (ii) J.I. Packer is Reformed and I remembering hearing that he believes in LFW. So I am hardly the first.
I'd be willing to argue LFW and in fact I will probably post later today in response to the various posts addressed at me above. (Ron says not to reply to him anymore; fine by me.)
I hope that adopting this view doesn't put me in any "trouble" with the admin, though I don't know why it is that it should--you could quote me a line from the WCF from the section on free will and I'd agree with it, assuredly. So it is not as if I became Arminian, despite what Ron says. I am just changing my understanding of predestination/sovereignty, etc.
