No such thing as "free won't". That's something made up with no command or clear understanding of the English language.
Except English has the inherent trait of making up new words and new uses for words (turning nouns and even proper Names into verbs for instance).

Which in this case hasn't happened yet. The made-up term "free won't" hasn't become a social norm and likely will not.

Free won't is the natural state of all mankind by nature. the Lord told some people that they would not come to Him that they they might have life. John5.

When man gets his own way he will not come to Christ. The greatest monument to the free will of man is the Lord of glory hanging on the cross. Acts 2. Man not only cannot come but he will not come to Christ or be obedient to Him.

It takes an act of God in us and for us in order for us to freely come. He does for us what we will not and cannot do for ourselves.

Yes I freely chose Christ but only after He caused me to see that iHe was the only real choice by giving me a new will and a new desire by giving a new life.

See Matthew 21:28-31
You read into the passage what is not there. The Lord is speaking to Jews and telling them that though they say they do the will of God they do not but the publicans and sinners who have faith in Him do. The passage isn't about will.

Hmm but Martin Luther wasnt baptist. I dont know about arthur pink. He sounds presbyterian.
Uh no intention of snubbing anyone. Just want to know the baptist take on it.

Arthur Pink was a Reformed (Calvinistic) Baptist. See HERE.
