You believe one is born again by his own freewill!
So what's wrong with that?
John 6:44 King James Version (KJV)
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
The ordinances that were abolished were temporary to begin with.
The covenant that Christ spoke and wrote will last until the earth is destroyed.
Jesus is the New Covenant. He is the fulfillment of the Old Testament and the law.
Jesus defined the law as love, love toward God and love toward neighbor.
That law included him but was not just for him.
Only a Calvinist could make such a stupid statement as that.
Jesus said, "That which is born of flesh is flesh; and that which is born of Spirit is Spirit".
And then he said, "Marvel not that I said unto you, YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN" John 3:6, 7.
You must be born again by the word of God. Which is the Gospel, 1 Peter 1:23.

You believe that one is born again by their own freewill !
You have been given a choice and by your own free will you have rejected God's great free gift of salvation.
Now you are without hope.
As if the spirit would call us outside the Law...is how we know when one claims they are led by the spirit...
Christians are not free from the law but its condemnation...as by following the Spirit they obey and keep the law...gratitude makes them want to...faith compels it...how best to show our love..."keep my commandments" which are not separate from His Father's still binding law...is why even after signing and sealing the new covenant...He and His followers still kept Sabbaths...even kosher
We know which spirit we follow by the laws we keep...His Laws? it is His spirit...not His His way? well we are following another spirit...
The Law remains and still points out sin...and the Savior of it...
You are not free to go kill or fornicate sorry...the Spirit will not compel you that...nor into breaking ANY of the other Laws...
We don't keep the Law it keeps us...the Spirit comforts us our progress...
Why not? God could have left us alone rebelling and suicidal and be done with it but He chose reconciliation with us...
His only begotten Son chose to be reborn into flesh...to be born again Himself...from spirit to flesh that we might be reborn from flesh into spirit...if you choose...and endure...He did despite not wanting to but doing His Father's will in order that on earth as it is in heaven...
You really don't appreciate the choice and sacrifice He made to reconcile us...
What sacrifice was it if it is all preordained as done?

You and Nanja are without hope because you do not believe the Gospel.
You have rejected the Gospel of Jesus Christ and have replaced it with the doctrine of a heretic.
25 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10 “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
11 “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’
12 “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
13 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
If you don't read the word and have it
in your heart and mind you will not get through the door.

I like his comment. Satan has blinded many. But many also have chose to look back at their sin and embrace Satan and are turned to a pillar of salt by rejecting Jesus.
