Glory to me, I guess. Does God have any part in my decision at all?

Well, here's the meaning of "converted":
1. noting a specified type of person who has been converted from the religion, beliefs, or attitudes characteristic of that type: a converted Christian; a converted thief.
2. noting anything, formerly of the type specified, that has been converted to something else: His yacht is a converted destroyer escort.
It seems to me that if you did not accept Jesus before, and then you did, according to the definition, yes, you converted yourself.

If you don't think that God had any part in your conversion you can't truly be a convert. Accepting Jesus and being converted means that you are acknowledging their existence and the love they have for you and the part that they play in your and everyone Else's lives. I hope that you have a good life and find yourself.

the Bible says everything became new the old life has passed and everything is made new, that mean that everyone that put his trust in Jesus not in yourself but in Jesus became a new creation, understanding that it's not talking about external things are talking about internal things , if you used to do wrong thing as lies and curse etc now been a believer has to be a change in you "convertion" if you want. This conversion comes from God working in your life , not just from you , but God working in your life ... God wont make you do something if you do not want nothing from him.

What would you be accepting Jesus for? Why not obey and follow Gods will not pray to and worship a man whom was only a prophet. Now that don't makes sense do it?
So submit to the one and only God and you shall be on the straight path really!

Accepting Jesus in not something wrong.But he is a messenger of God.
So try to be closer to the creator rather than being closer to a creation.
Accept Almighty god.The creator
Read the Quran and find more.
Quran never contradicts in any place.
But bible does. U find lots of mistakes.
Not in Quran
Quran is for the whole humanity where itself it says it is for the entire humanity.
Some people think it si for Muslims only and it is wrong.It is for the world.

God gave u a mind to think. But to use it well. If u accept Jesus as one of your Prophets but choose not to follow him is good. If u accept Muhammad as the last prophet and follow his teachings.. then all good. you're set for a good hereafter. but be a good person and follow God's words

Not if you believe in free will. I'm an atheist, so of course I don't think that god is involved. But even if you do believe, you supposedly have free will, so god shouldn't be influencing your decisions in any way.

You haven't fully converted yourself until you truly believe...that's what I had trouble with, having faith in an unseen entity. I hope you have better faith then I did, or accepting Jesus will have been a waste.

It's not a full conversion until you add the Golden Parachute package and go with a 4 wheel ABS disc system.
