wow pilgrim , The gospel message sets forth the person and work of christ, The truth about who he is and what he has done !There is no difference.. Regeneration hears the voice of christ via the gospel 27My sheep listen to my voice. The article is a good read. yes men may believe the gospel
and not be saved, for that matter men may here about christ and not be saved, your point is mute <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bananas.gif" alt="" /> I don`t know why you make a distinction , the bible does not. men today don`t believe the true gospel because they probably have not heard it. You still have not convinced me that you heard it back then when you said you first believed. Believed what ? You did not believe christ died for his people like it was prohesied. You did not believe in your depravity and hopelessness , you did not believe in sovereign grace, you did not believe Jesus was God. You basically heard that christ died for sinners,aand you felt bad about your sins. I am not saying now you don`t believe the true gospel, I believe you do, but I believe, from what you have written, that you hold on to your rubbish. Instead of thanking God for revealing to you the real Christ of promise, you believe you went from point a to point b , when in fact, you had not even been regenerated and heard the truth about who christ is and what he accomplished, and for whom he accomplished it for, it is as simple as that <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bash.gif" alt="" />
