pomegranate,
Are you saying regeneration(being made alive-born again) comes before faith and repentance. Eph. 2:1-5?
Faith is a gift and man can't choose God Romans 3:10-11 unless enabled right? "No one comes to the son uless it is granted to him by the father"
Are you talking about "effectual calling" as the WCF discribes it.
Are you a CALVINIST?
