Chapter 9 of the London Baptist Confession of Faith addresses free will, teaching that humans were created with free will. After Adam's fall, however, humanity lost the ability to choose any spiritual good that accompanies salvation. Through conversion, God renews the human will, enabling people to desire spiritual good — imperfectly in this life and perfectly in glory.
