61 | Titus 3:5 regeneration help please | John 3:3 | Huron | 95754 | ||
Titus 3:5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, I'd like some more information on regeneration. Seems to be two schools of thought on it. Some say regeneration is the same as being born again or converted. (According to this model, I guess you could alternately say that regeneration happens at the same time as conversion.) Others say that it is a seperate step, i.e., you are regenerated BEFORE you have faith. I did some searching last night and it seems the only place in the Bible that uses the word regeneration is Titus 3:5, and that is only in the KJV, and NASB, but not the NIV. (I only have those three versions at home.) NIV uses the term "washing of rebirth". Is regeneration the same or different from the new birth talked about in Eze. 36:26,John 1:13, John 3:3, II Cor. 5:17, I Pet 1:23, I John 5:1? In some ways I feel like I'm splitting hairs here, but resolving this will help solve some related questions for me. Thanks! |

62 | Receiving Christ - Works? (2) Rom 10.17 | 1 Cor 2:14 | Huron | 95661 | ||
This is a continuation of a previous question re: receiving Christ equals works. (My brother and I disagree on decision theology). I was out of the country when my original question was circulating. I'd like to hear some points of view regarding regeneration. Which comes first regeneration, or faith? I thought faith came first by hearing the Word (Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God). I'm sure my brother would say that regeneration comes first. Thoughts? Huron |

63 | works law? | Bible general Archive 2 | Huron | 92981 | ||
Emmaus, Good stuff. Anything on how receiving is not "works". I don't see how anyone can compare receiving or believing with the works of the Law, but people do.... |

66 | Receiving Christ - Works? | Bible general Archive 2 | Huron | 92945 | ||
I need a little help with a question: My brother (great guy) tells me that "decision theology" is wrong. I disagree because I believe that everyone must make a decision about Christ. He states that a decision would be "works", and that we are spiritually dead before the renewing/rebirth therefore we can't do anything ourselves to effect salvation. I realize that we are saved by grace through faith per Ephesians 2.8,9 and Titus 3.5, but there are MANY verses in the Bible like John 1.12, 3.16, and Revelation 3.20 that talk of "receiving Christ." I tried to tell him that he is right, it's not by works BUT making a decision (or accepting Christ) is not works. Kind of like accepting a rope tossed out to you if you were drowning. The drowning person is NOT saving himself, BUT must receive the rope. He keeps telling me that decision theology "cheapens God's grace". Who is right? I'm seriously outclassed in this debate because he's got Greek lexicons/dictionaries/commontaries ad naseum, and I'm a Bible only type guy. Thanks! |

67 | Mark 16:9-48 | Mark | Huron | 92865 | ||
Tim, Thanks for the information. My Scofield KJV says that the longer ending was not in the Siniatic or the Vatican manuscripts, but that Irenaeus and Hippolytus quoted the longer ending. Have you any info on the instance where the longer ending was quoted by those early Church leaders? Thanks again! |
