You hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;


What are everone's thoughts on regeneration. The historical reformed position is a process which entails more than just quickening. Calvin himself included justification, repentance, faith under the umbrella of regeneration. Recently i have become convinced That regeneration is distinct from all of these and is not a process, but an immediate supernatural act of God on His elect without means. Now there are times that it does accompany the Word, but Gospel regeneration is as detrimental as decisional regeneration.

Here is my position:

Regeneration is simply the activity of the Holy Spirit which happens immediately with no means whatsovever. We are 100% unconscious of this and is different than conversion.

There is a good article on the site from Samuel Hopkins that speaks about this.

What ya'll think?

There never was a sinner half as big as Christ is as a Savior.
