StColette Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 According to Thomism, God chooses certain individuals to come to Him and gives these a special form of intrinsically efficacious grace which automatically brings those people to choose Christ. Molinism, which normally claims that some do freely choose against God, even when He has given them the fullness of His redemptive grace.
