Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
God wants all people to be saved and the bride is supposed to preach all people can be saved.
Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
1Co 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
God does the calling and choosing on earth so we have a choice in our salvation.
Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
If a person hates sin, and does not want sin, and allows the Spirit to lead them then they will have the power abstain from sin.
So there is no excuse and since the power is there it is required of us and if we do not comply there is no salvation.
When God calls a person according to their heart condition He will work in their life to get them to the truth but they have to make the choice to accept the truth for God's kingdom is true love but they would of not accepted the truth unless God intervened in their life for the flesh would not accept it on its own.
So God gets the glory for His intervention caused us to accept the truth.

2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Heb 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Some people deny the Spirit for they will not give up the flesh and love sin more than God and they do not come to the truth that they have to be Christlike by the Spirit.
For they are led of the flesh and that is not Christlike.
Which Jesus will tell them He never knew them because they denied the Spirit leading them and were workers of iniquity not doing the will of the Father.
Which they sin wilfully holding on to sin which the blood of Jesus cannot wash away their sins for God will not take away a sin they hold unto.

God calls things that have not happened yet as though they already happened for if it is a plan of God to happen in the future it is the same thing as if it happened in the beginning for it will surely come to pass with no hindrance.
Predestination means that God already had the plan of salvation to give to mankind from the foundation of the world but this salvation is to whoever wants it for He wants all people to be saved.
God is love so and not evil so He would not choose some people to be saved and some people not to be saved without their choice.

For people that did accept the truth but went back to enjoying sins and do not correct it then there is no salvation.
If we sin we should repent not wanting the sin anymore and allow the Spirit to lead us.
Every time we sin we forfeit repentance until we correct it.
God knows the heart whether we are holding on to sin or not.
Isa 59:1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
Isa 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
People who would argue against it saying we cannot abstain from sin and sin does not affect our relationship with God are operating according to the flesh.
The Bible states a Spirit led life will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh and God will deliver them from temptation.
