Determinism is not a free gift
read
You are simply denying determinism involved necessity and compulsion
both of which are contrary to free will
Through the word of God.
Romans 10:17 (KJV) — 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Not unilaterally infused as you might believe

Belief is the free gift Tom, not determinism.
You've lost the plot.
God determines to grant a free gift, and it's freely accepted.
This is not contrary to free will, it defines free will.
Drop the pretexts.
Deal with what was written
No you have lost the plot
Have you forgotten we are discussing free will and necessity and compulsion.
and you were supposedly addressing my comment

Partially. Our libertarian free will is integral with with our nature. So no, we are not solely effected by the previous domino.
Again, deal with what was written and get a new line.
Drop your pretexts.
Deal with what was written and learn a new tune

Quote some fabricator
Philippians 1;29 fails to mention "presentation of the gospel". Feel free to throw it in there though. Typical cultist move.

Except the issue was foreknowledge, not determination.
But your comment shows determination is contrary to free will
Philemon 14 (ASV) — 14 but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will.
It also fails to mention the Calvinist idea it is something unilaterally infused into man
Hello
Rom 10 tells us faith comes by hearing the word of God

I agree with Romans 10. The topic is Philippians 1:29. There is no "presentation of the word" in the text. Tom just adds text wherever it is needed.
So what, neither is there a statement that faith is a gift
or that God unilaterally infuses faith into a person.
Rom 10 refutes that idea

LOL Romans 10 does not say faith is not infused. You simply assume.
Where is "presentation of the word" in Philippians 1:29? Notice lurkers Tom has his running shoes on.
