The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum How would you evaluate the following statement?

But Tom,

That is NOT what Robin's assessment was, "...isn't it kinda sorta suggesting that conversion precedes regeneration?" Here, Robin see's the statement as saying that justification (which comes via repentance and faith, aka: conversion) precedes regeneration.

Sooooo, I for one need more clarity from you. Do you think the church's statement teaches:

1. regeneration precedes justification (faith & repentance)

OR

2. faith precedes regeneration

Lastly, one may study at a particular school or under a particular individual but that is no guarantee that the student will embrace all that the school or instructor teaches.
