Subject: Are we presenting the gospel scripturaly |
Bible Note: Hi Doc, So the special revelation was that which was revealed in the words of Scripture? Or are you refering specifically to the words quoted from Mr. Burridge, "so also our fallen nature demands the work of the Holy Spirit if that propositional revelation is to be understood. The hearer must be regenerated and illumined." So that the special revelation was that which the Holy Spirit brought to the tax collector by regeneration, so that he could actually understand what the Scriptures said? I guess I think of regeneration differently than you do. I think of regeneration as what happens when we are born again. Love in Christ, Mark |
