I came across this when reading Sproul's Tabletalk magazine. When we speak of the "Father is begotten, the son is eternally begotten of the Father, and the Spirit eternally proceeds from the Father and the Son."
The use of the word proceed for the Spirit is new to me. I mean I have never heard it said that way. Why proceed and not begotten?
Let's go back to Trinity 101 - how do we understand begotten and proceed, and why is it important to see the Three as a procession instead of begotten at the same moment. I realize that God is outside of the way we view time so procession may have a different connotation than the way we normally understand it.
