As God in His Word says, was Paul crucified for you? I am so grieved at the backwards march of Christianity as they fight over whether they are followers of a bunch of dead guys. Do we or do we not serve the Living God? And is He not the One that died that we might be saved? Perhaps if as much time were spent on the Bible listening to the Lord as reading the Institutes, growing in wisdom, we would have a changed world instead of a bunch of baby Christians arguing over who is going to be king of the hill.

He doesn't often spell it out as clearly as he has here. It's on the subject of regeneration that I would be intrigued to know what he believes. We believe that theologically the new birth precedes faith, even if chronologically it takes place at the same time. Here is Wierbsbe's predecessor's take on the subject Theodore Epp of the Back to the Bible broadcast: "As the heart closes around the Word by faith, God the Spirit quickens it and gives the fruit.." Doesn't Warfield say that effectual calling lies at the heart of the reformed faith? The initiative must be the Lord's.<br /><br />Philip CollinsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
