He would never have believed if God had not made him willing to believe.

Where does it say that in the text?

Did God make you willing to believe? Did he take away your unwillingness?

Where is that addressed in scripture???

It says it all throughout the Bible.

I will take that as a "no."

I will therefore have to assume that you believe that by the exercise of your own free will, independent of any compulsive influence of the Holy Spirit, that you made a rational and natural decision to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

I believe that is Pelagianism.

Would you identify yourself as a Pelagianist?
