Bible Note: Dear Brother Mark, So... You have described receiving, confession, and repentance in prior posts as prerequisites to God's salvific work. You have described these as human actions, but you do not believe that these actions are works. You have stated that God initiates the process, but that human beings conclude the process. These human acts must be performed before hand as a means of insuring regeneration -- which always follows these actions. Your choice of words (contingent, action, response, choice, preceding) were quite specific. Therefore, your doctrine asserts that a lost man (who is dead in sin) may choose to perform specific actions to intentionally and inevitably insure his own destruction, and the consequential birth of another: the new creature. Is this correct? I'm unclear as to how your last post clarified these points. In Him, Doc |
