Calling bullshit on that one. If I "found" salvation in Christ then I would have to follow "your" doctrine. Also, as history has shown, if the christians have political power then my "decision" would be follow the way of Christ or die. Much like what your god says "believe or die".
Most of my doctrine comes through the Baptist church, some of this may not be totally true and some I've developed myself through the study of scripture which could also be wrong, accepting Christ as your savior and following His teachings the best you can is what I was trying to say. As far as "do or die," is some crazy delusion you've dreamed up. Why? IMO you want to remove yourself from the loving grace of God by trying to run down a gift that can't be had except from God through Christ.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
