We can ONLY choose salvation if God chooses us first.
We can only make a free will decision to accept Jesus if He predestinated and called us to Him. This is what scripture teaches. Gods will is the will that matters!
John 1:12-13 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the power to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: (13) who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
