Pelagius taught that Adam made his own destiny upon the first act of his will, though he was born morally neutral and not actually holy. Adam could have chosen to be holy and he chose to sin. Augustine taught that Adam was created Holy, with a Will and bias towards God. He was inclined to love God, by his own free will.
Adam sinned by his wicked desire and was responsible for his own sin. But Adams sin was passed down to all men, because Adam is the Federal head of all men. Augustine taught that The Bible say's that sin and death came from Adam,but we also will and want to sin.Romans 5:12–14 Warfield, B. B Said If we ask, then, why God gives grace, we can only answer that it is of His unspeakable mercy; and if we ask why He gives it to one rather than to another, what can we answer but that it is of His will? The sovereignty of grace results from its very gratuitousness: where none deserve it, it can be given only of the sovereign good pleasure of the great Giver,—and this is necessarily inscrutable, but cannot be unjust.
Pelagius said that since every man is a new Adam, free from the taint of sin and corruption. We also can make our own destiny upon the first act of our own will. Augustine's Theology of Grace Warfield writes this: ‎The necessity of grace to man, Augustin argued from the condition of the race as partakers of Adam’s sin. God created man upright, and endowed him with human faculties, including free will; and gave to him freely that grace by which he was able to retain his uprightness.Being thus put on probation, with divine aid to enable him to stand if he chose, Adam used his free choice for sinning,&involved his whole race in his fall
