You may find this article helpful, as I did. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/BigThumbUp.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the link. The chart says regeneration is a divine activity followed the human activities of repentance/faith followed by divine justification. I understand that the first 7 activities are not chronological but logical. However, I can't see the logic of saying that inner character change and responsiveness to the gospel wrought by regeneration precedes repentance/faith which precedes justification. Isn't that the opposite of what Westminster says? Justification is "not for any thing wrought in them, or done by them." Faith "they have not of themselves, it is the gift of God."
