Where does it say that in the text?

It says it all throughout the Bible.

Where is that addressed in scripture???

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?

Chapter and verse please.

Why? Because you can't answer my question?

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.

And that is your assumption for what it is worth. But why is any way that a person winds up believing on the Lord Jesus Christ the right way or the wrong way? Is your way the only way? Is believing the gospel irrational?

I believe that is Pelagianism.

Now that belief is a work. You had to work hard to come up with that conclusion and the following question.
