-> 
-> Either the will is in bondage to sin or
-> the will is in bondage to Christ.

I I may intrude...
That 'either/or is too Aristotelian for my liking.

(My liking does not often evince universal agreement :-)

I think that will in is bondage primarily to self. Hence
Luke (and more clearly in the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas)
Mastery (release from bondage) of the will is found in the
kingdom of God which is within you.

Hmmm. 'bondage to sin'.

-> ..they cannot change themselves...

Cannot? Limited Grace?

election...

Ah, election. No credit to you, eh?

That sorta put a crip in yer evangelization does it not?
