"Where the Arminian, therefore, will be content to say: "I decided for Christ," "I made up my
mind to be a Christian," the Calvinist will wish to speak of his conversion in more
theological fashion, to make plain whose work it really was:
"Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature's night:
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray;
I woke; the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off: my heart was free:
I rose, went forth, and followed thee."
Clearly, these two notions of internal grace are sharply opposed to each other."
- J.I. Packer
