Subject: Ordo Salutis Answers to Mark's Verses |
Bible Note: Dear Brother Mark, As asked, I've rendered up alternative interpretations of these passages. The interpretations I offered can be confirmed as being rooted in sound exegesis by checking with a variety of commentators. You asked, "Can you point me to a 'prescriptive' Scripture that tells us that we are to be regenerated before we repent?" I guess I'd have to answer no in the same way that I'd answer no to the question, "Can you point out a black dog that is white." Perhaps definitions are in order again: Descriptive language deals with the state of things. Prescriptive language deals with what ought to be done to attain a given state. One describes, the other prescribes. Here is an example: "Joe told a lie." (Descriptive) "Joe should tell the truth." (Prescriptive) John 3:16 is descriptive. Mark 1:15 is prescriptive. Much error is rooted in the confusion of the two. Back to my studies... its late... at least for me. In Him, Doc |
