Is Regeneration before faith?


Listen Later

What do you get when a Reformed Baptist (our guest Robert Wiesner) discusses the order of faith and regeneration and its relation to baptism with an Arminian Baptist (Dan) and a Reformed Presbyterian (Turretinfan)?  Disconcurance all around!  The Baptists disagreed with the Presbyterian on infant Baptism, seeing Baptism as an expression of faith. We all agreed that man is totally depraved and needs grace, but what does that grace look like? Robert and Dan disagreed with Turretinfan that regeneration precedes faith.  The Robert and Turretinfan disagreed with Dan that grace is resistible, instead seeing an effectual call. There was some really good discussion around the meaning of regeneration in Titus 3:5, the heart transplant in Ezekiel and Jeremiah, the gift of faith and the drawing in John 6. Thanks to Robert for writing on and discussing the topic of how to precisely define regeneration and the order of faith and regeneration.
