Thank you.
I do not see anywhere in Scripture where we choose to be saved, it is actually the opposite, the unregenerate cannot turn to the Lord on their own free will.
I will stop at this, to not go off topic any further.
Grace and peace to you.

Yes, this a huge subject, and I respect it...on both sides. Martin Luther wrote a book called, "The Bondage of the Will," and took your side on this. I was raised a Lutheran, though not now, and did not agree with Luther on this. Luther's concern was to show that Salvation comes by Christ alone, and not by anything we can do to earn our own Salvation.
My own view is that though this is true we were made to operate in conjunction with God's Word so that when we choose to accept Savlation, we are not just doing it on our own, but really, in conjunction with the Word of God.
We can discuss it some other time perhaps? Have a nice day.
