No. Wrong. False.

Only the regenerate will. All others are unwilling. Indeed, we are all unwilling, until God makes us willing, in the day of his power. God brings a man to Himself, not against his will, but by giving him a new will. To say that a man cannot because God has not enabled him, is to say that God has prevented him, and is therefore to lay the blame on God.

There is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him crucified, unless we preach what nowadays is called Calvinism. It is a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else. - C.H. Spurgeon
