What is the definition of "free will" as defined by the free will advocates on this site?

In another thread it came through that some people think that the non-use of italics in the ESV for "to be" in James 2:5 is dishonest and changes the meaning of the verse. My response with the underlying Greek is below.
@Van
You need to think through your theology here a bit.

First, you just said, again, that the standard for formal equivalence is italics but then scream that isn't what you say when I challenge you on it.

Second, regarding James 2:5, do you really think someone is rich in...

What makes a person a conservative Baptist
or a liberal Baptist?

Does the Bible ever mention the words "liberal" or "conservative"

Which Bible translation is your "go to," "every day," "read the most" Bible?

Which Bible translation is your "go to" choice or preference when you're seeking a more "formal equivalence" rendering of a particular Bible passage?

And which Bible translation is your "go to" when you wish to read a more "dynamic equivalence" rendering of a given passage of scripture?

Now, as for me, my "every day" Bible translation of choice is the NIV.

My "functional equivalence" preference is the NLT....

I think everyone should read Dr. Mark Ward's book Authorized. Has anyone else read this?

Book Review: Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Bible

I'm not Reformed, but I was asking questions about it in a Facebook group and lo and behold this one (Reformed) person said that Reformed tradition put heretics to death. I asked if they themselves supported the death penalty for heretics, and they said they did.

I know there are lots of Reformed people on this forum. What do you think of this?

As always, my intentions are simply to get your feedback, comments, opinions, etc.

In other words, I'm just "opening a dialogue," in a manner of speaking.

Thank you for your assistance!

Is the NET Bible formal equivalence or functional equivalence?

I'd appreciate it hearing your thoughts on this. Thank you.

I ask you all to be as careful with terms as you can be. Our Calvinist brethren often denounce conflation of terms. We are not talking about election here. The thread is about predestination unto salvation. And please define terms with cross-references, not general one-liners.
