None of these is in fact true. Augustine and Calvin both taught this, though Calvin tended to emphasize divine responsibility in such a way that he sometimes appeared to deny human responsibility. On the human level, people actually make decisions, and those decisions reflect their character and goals. On the divine level, God is responsible for the overall process, including the character and experience of each individual. It is interesting to see authors talk about their experience in writing novels.
Authors claim that characters take on lives of their own.
Within the world of the novel, a good author makes sure that their characters have their own integrity. Their decisions are consistent with their character and motivations. Yet the author is still responsible for everything. As to evangelism, it is a historical fact that those who believe in predestination have been at least as zealous in evangelism as those who do not. It may however affect the way evangelism is done.
