Pilgrim

1. Not sure
2. Totally Depraved
3. As I remember an answer I asked to that question. It went something to the effect of. (not exact quote) "Yes God must do something to a person before a spiritually dead person can believe, but that something is not regeneration."
The person went on to say that this is actually the only place where he disagrees with the Reformed understanding of regeneration. He rightly pointed out how Reformed Christians generally exegete John 3, but as he examines the text, he sees no justification for that interpretation.
I wish we had more time to discuss what made him believe that, but unfortunately that was all he said.
