Voiding Free Will

Assuming that those who claim they have literally heard God speak had a genuine experience wouldn't it mean that their life has been altered forever? They cannot live how they like anymore because they have an undeniably tangible experience that proves to them personally that God is real.

I see faith as the use of one's free will. One chooses to have faith in something but after such an experience faith is no longer needed. You have but ONE choice and that is to serve the God who showed himself to you UNMISTAKEABLY.

Free will is gone.

Wow, I've only said this about a bizillion times here when people ask where is the proof for God, but I guess the important thing is that you get it and not where you get it from.
