Just because your family was not religious doesn't mean that you were not conditioned to attend church... the point of my argument has nothing to with with your salvation but your lifestyle.... If heaven is a reward then that is a the ultimate reward... anyway my question is how much of your life is dictated by punishment and reward AKA functionality?

HE didn't irresistibly draw me- I could have rejected HIS drawing and that would have been an exercise of my free will, just like accepting his drawing was an exercise of my free will.
Also, as for your last question, it's still free will that's happening in the decision I make to want to avoid punishment and gain a reward. I mean I know people with no fear of hell (due to their lack of understanding or love for their sin) or people deceived into thinking they won't go to hell, but their free will is still in effect, they just happen to be people who are opposing themselves.
