"You may try and discredit Reformed Theology all you like, I only suggest you do it accurately. A question you should ask yourself is, if the Holy Spirit is working in all persons equally, why do some people respond to the gospel and not others? Are some people more naturally responsive to spiritual things? Why the desire for Christ in some and not others? Where did it come from? It is either God's grace that makes us differ or it is something in autonomous man. It seems pretty obvious that to believe it is ultimately up to man is to make God's grace penultimate and man's faith ultimate so that man can boast over another who does not have faith. Only as we recognize that we exercise faith because of God's mercy do we give him all the glory (Rom 9:16). What we cannot and will not do for ourselves Christ does for us."
