Does God offer us salvation when He says "come unto me" (Matt. 11.28) because we have free-will: "he that will, let him take the water of life freely" (Rev. 22.17)?
At the end of the day you are going to have to receive Christ God's way if you want to be saved.
You cannot in calvinism assume you are saved which then caused you to believe, for to just assume you are saved is no choice for Christ, but something you puffed yourself up on presumptuously.
You were never totally deprave, for total depravity is pelagian. If you were totally deprave you could never choose the cross by faith, the cross offered would be in vain, the salvation offered to Nicodemus would be fake, and that would make God evil if He saved some and not others without allowing them to have the choice.
God will not draw you to Him as long as you keep assuming you were saved without your choice to come to the cross first. May you accept the authentic salvation, not the assumed one.
