You are referring to Acts 13:48. Where you will see both grammatically and contextually, that the verb, "τάσσω", can take the "middle voice", where the context demands it. you will notice in verse 46, the Jews regarded themselves as not worthy of eternal life (NOT God), which is the "middle voice", by contrast, the Gentiles gladly accepted this same Message (middle voice), and thereby "enrolled themselves" on God's side by their acceptance. There is no objection in the Greek grammar in the passage as a whole, to what I have said here. If there is, I would like to see it.

"The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders,and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and in order to be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness" (2 Thess. 2:9-12)
Who can deny this teaches "free choice" of humans? -

When confronted with God, the mind of a sinner never thinks that God’s way is good. The mind turns away because it does not want God to be sovereign over it. The way it chooses is actually the way of alienation and misery, the end which is death. But humans think sin is best. Therefore, unless God changes the way we think, which he does by the miracle of new birth—our mind always tells us to turn from God. -
