Bible Note: I believe that the Bible teaches salvation to be contingent upon human response to God's offer. That God does all the work, that God initiates the process, but that man can refuse, preferring his own sin. I do not believe that God regenerates the unrepentant sinner, thus bringing about his repentance. I believe the Bible is quite clear about this, that salvation comes at regeneration, and that regeneration always follows repentance. Repentance is changing your mind, which is not a work, it is a choice. Choices are not works. I hope this is more clear. Thank you for your kind words. Love in Christ, Mark |
