Searcher I agree And we need to remember who is the audience for all our worship. All our personal and corperate worship has to be directed to Him alone to Whom all praise, honor, worship and glory is due. We worship Him because He is worthy. Blessings New creature |

CDBJ It may be possible that the Lord has burdened your heart in such a manner, in order that you might be the first person to have this missed function again become part of your worship service. The church I attend, each Sunday sets aside a section of the worship service, where they pass a microphone around for a time for praise, testimony, answers to previous prayers and new prayer requests. I think this should be part of the worship service every week, as it is a the church I attend. Blessings New Creature |

Country Girl; Believe me. I understand. My personal survey is intended only to see whether or not individuals believe we are passive or pro-active in the event called "new birth" In other words did you or did you not do something to bring about your new birth? Blessings New Creature |

Hello Brother Tim; I am in complete agreement with EVERYTHING you said. In this discussion I am trying to focus on one single aspect of the whole salvation picture. A gift is one thing, and certainly salvation is a gift. Likewise, I realize that we cannot have salvation without "regeneration" or the "new birth." Both are one and the same. I am of the mind that those who have believed and received Christ by faith, most certainly and necessarily must be "born anew." But the term salvation, at least in my understanding differs from the term "new birth" Therefore by trying to focus on "regeneration" for this study, to see how different our beliefs are on this topic is what I am attempting to accomplish. It's just a personal study of mine, in which when completed, I hope to be able to share my findings about what participants in this forum believe. I have already seen where some believe, we are passive in regeneration, while others are saying that we are either active, or at least semi-active in bringing about the event called regeneration. That is why I find this topic interesting. God bless you brother Tim New Creature |

Country Girl; Thank you once again for your reply. I would like to ask you another question if I may, which will better help me in completing my survey. You say to put you down as "passive" So the question I have is: Would you classify your "repenting" as being passive or active? Blessings New Creature |

Dear Hank; I am in COMPLETE AGREEMENT with everything you said. I believe exactly the same as you on this. What initially prompted me to inquire about this topic, were a couple of articles from the Reformed Camp, in which they stated that "regeneration precedes" faith. I just wanted to see how many in this forum agree or disagree with that statement. Actually, before I complete my survey, I plan on rewording the question exactly that way. The question will be; Does regeneration precede faith, or does faith precede regeneration. I first wanted to discuss this with community members, and by wording my question in various ways, to see how individuals understand and comprehend the question, while at the same time seeing if the individuals are remaining consistent in what they believe. I hope this helps you understand what I am attempting to accomplish. The more responses and input I get, the more interesting this survey becomes. God Bless you brother Hank New Creature |

Thanks Mark; When I looked up the word "passive" in my Websters Dictionary I got the following definition: passive adj. 1. influenced or acted upon without exerting influence or acting in return; inactive but acted upon. 2. offering no opposition or resistance; submissive; yielding; patient. 3. taking no part; inactive; inert. 4. in grammar, indicating that the subject is the receiver (object) of the action the verb denotes (e.g., in "the tree was struck by lightning," was struck is said to be in the passive voice). Then looking up the word "consent" I end up with the following definition; consent 1. to agree (to do something); give permission, approval. 2. an act of the will By using those definitions, I don't see how it is possible to be both "passive" and "consenting" at the same time. Correct me if I am wrong. However, if what I am thinking is correct, do you still wish to be put down as "passive" but "consenting" God Bless you Mark New Creature |

Tim; After reading Mark's position, I personally couldn't see where the option of being "passive but consenting" could be possible. Below is my reply to Mark. I wanted you to see the problem I have with with such a position. When I looked up the word "passive" in my Websters Dictionary I got the following definition: passive adj. 1. influenced or acted upon without exerting influence or acting in return; inactive but acted upon. 2. offering no opposition or resistance; submissive; yielding; patient. 3. taking no part; inactive; inert. 4. in grammar, indicating that the subject is the receiver (object) of the action the verb denotes (e.g., in "the tree was struck by lightning," was struck is said to be in the passive voice). Then looking up the word "consent" I end up with the following definition; consent 1. to agree (to do something); give permission, approval. 2. an act of the will By using those definitions, I don't see how it is possible to be both "passive" and "consenting" at the same time. How is it possible to be passive and yet consenting using those definitions? Maybe you can help me once again. God Bless you New Creature |

Country Girl Help me understand. You said to put you down as passive concerning the "new birth" but now you say, in our repenting we are active. So if we must be active and repent, how can we say that in the new birth we are passive. If you were to say that the "new birth" precedes repentance, and we are passive in our new birth, but then we must be active in our repenting, then that would seem consistent to me. Help me out here. God Bless New Creature |

Thanks again Mark I want you to know that I am not disagreeing with you. I merely am probing you to see if you still remain firm in your stance of "being passive, but consenting" I see you continue to remain standing firm in what you believe concerning this discussion, and I commend you for that. The reason I probe deeper in questioning individuals, is to come away with a better understanding of how individuals view this topic. Keep in the word God Bless you New Creature |

Emmaus Thanks for that bit of history I see that "The Council of Trent" obviously must have believed that there may have been things that precede justification. I wonder if they ever elaborated on that. God Bless New Creature |

Hank Thanks for the reply Yes it would certainly benefit each of us to not only become acquainted with the correct definition of repentance, but other words often associated with salvation. For instance; under the umbrella we call salvation are terms like, justification, sanctification, and glorification etc. I believe it should be our desire to gain a correct understanding of such Biblical terms and how they relate to a more complete picture of what salvation entails. Thanks again Hank God Bless New Creature |
