Sorry, but I haven't a clue what "Covenant in Blood" is. It must be a Lutheran thing.

Sorry, I was quoting from "The Highway" old hand "Covenant in Blood" post on page 7. I assume he's a Calvinist. Lutherans aren't big on covenants.

I am using "compulsion" here to describe "Irresistable Grace", i.e., between the creating of the new nature, which of itself is naturally drawn to God and the influence of the Holy Spirit, the regenerate man is infallibly brought to the place where he repents of his sins and takes hold of Christ by faith. (cf. Rom 8:30; Jh 6:37, 44, 45, 64, 65; Acts 13:48; 18:27; Gal 1:15, 16; 2Tim 1:9; Heb 9:15; Jam 1:18; 2Pet 1:3; 1Jh 5:10)...
Although there are those who would hold that conversion may follow regeneration by an extended period of time, I hold that conversion follows immediately after regeneration.

1. If Regeneration is instantaneous and conversion follows immediately after regeneration, how can it be resisted?
2. I take it that the period of time between regeneration and conversion ,if any, is not an essential feature of Calvinism (i.e., in the confessions)?
