To accept or reject a response is your choice;hence, free will.
I don't know that I've ever read a response that states:
free will = Gospel
Gospel mean Good News. The Word of God given by Jesus is Good News or Gospel.
Hope this clears up the misunderstanding of the meaning of things.
I will rephrase your second statement and then answer it. I hope I understood it correctly.
If you speak to another that a "Christian" has done something wrong, the person to whom you are speaking responds "but he is not a real christian".
First of all, if you witness a Christian doing something wrong, simply tell them. It is the duty and responsibility of all Christians to keep the Word of God. A true Christian will thank you for pointing out their errors and ask for forgiveness and learn from their mistakes. A pretender will give you some lip back. It would be your duty as a true Christian to set them straight.
The Bible tells us that if we witness a person involved with wrongdoing then we are to confront that person. If they will not listen then we are to return with others in an attempt to convince the person to turn from their evil ways. If still the offender does not listen then we are to go before the elders of the church to present the problem and again demand the offender cease from his evil ways.
Bottom line, pray for that person and the person who said "he's not a real christian" because that person isn't either.
Gossip is a sin.

Myself being a new christian have not fully read all of the bible but am striving to grow as much in God as possible. Please, try to emphathize on this it is as if literally being a new born you look at the world in a whole new perspective.
The people i once hung out with don't accept me for who i am now. It is hard sometimes, but when there is a conversation about God i can't just let my King get disrespected and misunderstood. Many people even Christians take verses out of context so don't hold that agianst them becuase they are only servants in his word that are trying to share truth with you and christians are only human.
Sometimes,i feel like all i can do is at the least give others the same chance i got to be free from sin and the burdens of this world my life was so torn and jesus redeemed me.
i pray that you will one day answer your own qeustion with the word of God be wise and awesome my friend and i thank you...

Sadly enough I must agree that most modern Christians have a distorted and almost neo-pagan view of free will. I would recommend to any who are interested to explore the reformed view of free will. Luther, Calvin, and Augustine are highly recommended in this area. As well as Dr. R. C. Sproul among contemporary scholars.

God did create Man with free will. He has the will to accept truth or deny it. He has the will to choose Heaven of Hell. It is not a cop out, just the way God did things.

The only "freedom" we have in our will is to choose evil.

You don't believe we all have free will? Who is controlling you if you don't have free will?

Then don't accept it. It's your own loss.
