I think accepting Christ as one’s Savior is always a rational decision.

You think that way because God has changed your way of thinking.

There is certainly involvement of the Holy Spirit.

Indeed.

I think a person can use their freewill to either accept or reject Christ.

If that can be done without the Holy Spirit first making one willing, then that, my dear brother, is Pelagianism.

Even though I have seen pockets of Pelgianism being expressed on this forum, I have yet to see anyone actually admit to being one.

After reading the definition of Pelgianism, would you admit that you subscribe to that theological viewpoint?

I did not state anything remotely close to that. Please do not read words into what I say. If I meant to say that the Holy Spirit has no role, I would have stated so. I find it hard to believe that anyone could possibly think the Holy Spirit is not involved in the opening on one's mind and heart to the Gospel message.
