Great! That would mean that you are not a Pelagian. In fact you are probably closer to Calvinism than you think. I suspect I am as well.
However you stated that coming to Christ "is always a rational decision." If that were true, then there would be no need for the Holy Spirit. Man could come to some kind of saving knowledge of Christ without any compelling influence of the Holy Spirit. But man is so utterly messed up as the result of sin that man is wholly incapable of coming to that decision without first having his heart and mind changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Let me ask you this. Think about it carefully before you answer. Did you pursue God or did God pursue you?
And a couple of followup questions:
When you came to Christ, were you there by divine appointment? Was that a divinely scheduled event?
I heard the Gospel message, it made complete sense; an, I accepted Christ at that time - no hesitation.
When you came to Christ, were you there by divine appointment? Was that a divinely scheduled event?
Some things don't happen by chance. I don't think everything is predestined, but I think God has a way of putting people into situations where they are compelled to make a decision for or against Christ.
I could not more strongly believe that Saul/Paul was predestined to be the most powerful witness ever for Christ.
Is there a relationship between Calvinism and this double predestination thing? If you have to believe in double predestination to be a Calvinist, I am definitely not one of those.
