"Predestined According to the Purpose of Him Who Works all things According to the Counsel of His Will", Ephesians 1:11.

There is nothing about "regeneration" in that verse and yet you find it as you need it to support your false religion.

BF can you answer this, where do you see "the light in Vs 6 is regeneration"
Do you find this, new birth, reproduction, renewal, recreation in Isa 42:6

Isa 42:6 "I am the LORD, I have called You in righteousness, I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You, And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the nations,

BF you also posted this verse to support your errant view.
Joh 8:12 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."

There is your free will BF. They have to make the choice to follow.

All you can see is the man-made theology of calvinism.

Regeneration is included in those blessings, they are salvation blessings Isa 42:6-7

Isa 42:6-7

6 I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

Light spiritual comes with salvation Isa 49:6

6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

He actually lightens the elect gentiles Lk 2:32

32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Lighten is the same word Paul uses as a missionary to the gentiles Eph 1:17,18

17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

Im afraid you in the dark to these spiritual blessings given to the gentile elect because Christ was given a covenant head for them

Follow the logic
We can’t become holy until we are forgiven and justified.
Neither can we experience new spiritual life while still in our sins and under the condemnation of the death that our sins cause in us.
Sin must first be removed and the blood of Christ applied before new life and holiness can begin.
In other words, justification must logically precede regeneration and sanctification.
Since justification is by faith, it follows that faith must logically precede regeneration.

No one gets spiritual blessings until they are in Christ BF. And one is only in Christ after they believe.

You have so confused the bible that I do not think you even know what you should believe. The bible is what you should believe but it seems you are more content to believe that man-made philosophy based on pagan teachings than you are the word of God.



You just ramble on and ignore the word of God.

I cant follow anyone who doesnt see the Light of Truth, that would be foolish. You fail to see the salvation Christ has effected for the saving of Gods People.
