"Saying regenerate man is enabled to actively embrace grace is another way of saying man is justified by his action of embracing."

It seems that you may have a "mind-block" to understanding these simple statements. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bash.gif" alt="" /> "regenerate man is enabled" means only that, he is enabled, he still must perform the action to make it complete. Performing the action completes the process, but of itself does not do the justifying, just accepts it. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bingo.gif" alt="" /> Hope this makes it a little clearer.

Yes, it does. But the Bible says otherwise. Man's actions of completing the process, accepting, etc. do nothing to justify man before God: "Not of works less any man should boast." Man must despair of his own efforts before he is prepared to receive the grace of God.
