[color:red] We must first repent of our sins, meaning turning from self and sin, to God and His desires. We must be “born again,” meaning we surrender our lives fully to God and allow Christ to be our personal Lord and Savior. We do this by calling out to God in prayer.</font color=red><br><br>Well, I always have problems with pre-set methods of sharing the Gospel. It is like Barney carrying one bullet for his revolver. First, I would rather carry an automatic and second, it should always be fully loaded. It is important to study and understand the whole counsel of God (individuals have a variety of questions, et. al.........). The Scriptures you brought up are good, but with the thoughts above I shutter to think that Sproul said this, but he may have (from Josh I would expect this)???<br><br>We CANNOT repent UNTIL God gives us repentance! (2 Tim 2:24-26). We CANNOT turn until He turns us. Additionally, you are using the terms "Ye Must Be Born Again" as a command and it is not even so in Scripture ("believe" is a Present participle revealing a continuous action--continually believing ones). Being "born again" is something that happens to us (regeneration) so we may appropriately respond in faith.......(conversion). You may say God gives us a new willer to will with and irresistibly surrender. ....Pilgrim has an excellent presentation and I will find it for you and post it accordingly.<br><br>Well he beat me to it...see Pilgrim's post.
