You are "regenerated" the moment you become a "new creature": "old things passed away, all things become new", "born of God", "born of the Spirit", "Indwelled with the Spirit", "sealed with the Spirit", "born again".

That question was in response to this post from TCassidy........ You "partucular redemptionists" say that God has to "enable" someone before they can believe the Gospel and you say that He DOES NOT enable those He chooses not to enable. And you say that they CANNOT believe unless this...

Well yeah, none of us are Jesus The "voice of the Lord" of Psalm 29 CAN do it.

If someone cannot possibly access something that is "available", how then is it "available" to save them?

FWIW, That was a sheep, which he already owned in the first place.

The "voice" of the Lord is powerful enough for even the dead to hear.

Sheep are extremely "food oriented" and they only want good, clean, feed. They will turn up their noses and walk away from contaminated stuff. If one gives them good food, they will gravitate to and follow him.. In that sense it is they who choose the shepherd. But if one treats them badly and...

They know when and where the shepherd is about to let them out to pasture. and so they wait at the gate.....(these are my ewes)........ Then about 30 minutes later, when their hay has been scattered out and feed has been put in their troughs, they wait at the gate for that...... At the feed...

I'm just going to use your word..... con·tin·gen·cy kənˈtinjənsē/ noun a future event or circumstance that is possible but cannot be predicted with certainty. "a detailed contract that attempts to provide for all possible contingencies" synonyms: eventuality, (chance) event, incident...

:"that the world THROUGH HIM might be saved" Here's another definition......... might modal verb US /mɑɪt/ present tense might To express the possibility that something will happen or be done or is true,although it may not be very likely: Sir, Jesus died for every sin and every sinner and...

The question "do Calvinists distort the Gospel?" First let's define "gospel".... Gospel before 950; Middle English go(d)spell, Old English gōdspell (see good, spell2); translation of Greek euangélion good news; see evangel1 It means literally "good news", let's see what the "good news"...

No, You miss the point. Proverbs 26:3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back. You whip the horse and bridle an ass to make it do something AGAINST it's will. The same with fools; they're repeat offenders; as soon as the punishment is over (like the Canaanites)...

Well, yeah...that's what I said. :) God the Holy Ghost isn't going to convict somebody's heart if He had already "decided not to prepare his heart for the seed". My point is; The Holy Ghost DID convict Felix of sin, righteousness, and judgment , it shook him up pretty bad, but Felix CHOSE to...

Sir, the Holy Ghost did not waste His time convicting Felix of his sin, God's righteousness, and the judgement to come.

Cute little song. Reminds me of a dear couple who used to sing it at the camp meetings; Brother and Sister Shelton. Both played guitars and harmonized together beautifully. But I don't think the Lord had the hornets drive the Canaanites toward salvation.

. I am a desperately wicked sinner. You too are a desperately wicked sinner. God is pure and Holy and He truly is love: but He won't tolerate sin in His presence. You and I deserve His justice. You and I deserve Hell. But God loved us so much that he made a way for us to have eternal life...

Hold on. I agree that no one seeks God. Instead, God is seeking us. No man can come to Jesus unless the "Comforter" (Holy Ghost) DRAWS him. The difference is, I believe "draw" here means "pull", "tug" or "woo"(like He did with Felix) while the Calvinists believe it means "drag". I guess by their...

Correct, by the Holy Ghost John 16: 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness...

I don't claim or believe that "God programs people" and you know I don't. You know that I was in fact making light of those who do. So YOU are being dishonest with statements like the one above.

Nah, I wasn't blaspheming God; and you know it.
