God is completely sovereign over the affairs of men, including their eternal destiny, AND man is responsible and accountable for the decision to believe in or reject Christ as Lord and Savior.
Scripture teaches both. You can accept that or not - no spoon-feeding on the matter provided here. If you don't like the idea (and most folks probably won't), even quoting directly from scripture will be labeled as just 'my opinion'. Check it out for yourself. This writer hopes that your profession of Christ (if you are a Christ follower) would drive you into Scripture to see exactly what God has revealed to us about the matter, and having done that, just believe it and leave the mystery of it all to God's secret will.
In the end you will believe what you want to believe, as do we all. The difference between Christians and non-Christians is that somewhere inside of the person who has trusted in Christ for salvation, there is a change in what we want to believe - there's a new desire to believe what God reveals in scripture, even if we can't wrap our human brains around it.
