<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]Amen to regeneration preceding faith and repentance.</font><hr></blockquote><p><br><br>Indeed!<br><br>This past Sunday, we had a speaker at InterVarsity. I don't remember much of what he said, to be honest (it was rather confusing and seemed to lack direction), but at one point he did question the audience: "How many of you believe that repentance comes before regeneration?" (Lots of hands went up.) "And how many of you believe that regeneration comes before repentance?" (I was one of two or three hands!) "If we are truly dead in our sins, then how can we repent without the Holy Spirit first working in us?"
