Bible Note: Greetings Doc! It is interesting to note that of the scriptures Dr. Packer cites in the quote you provided that only two of them even mention regeneration. Mt. 19:28 uses the word, but it is not used in the context of individual salvation. None of the John 3 verses use the word, but he uses these verses to define regeneration. Titus 3:5 does use the word, but it does not specify the timing. So, my question would be, 'What Scripture tells us when regeneration takes place?' Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
