    Regeneration always, always takes place before a sinner places his or her faith in Jesus. <G>

    If the alleged regeneration of the sinner happened before a man or woman placed their faith/trust in Jesus, we would have an autocratic, manipulation of the Godhead in human affairs.

    Those who would be dealt with in this manner could not give human volitional worship to the Lord, because of the contriving of God without the response to the convicting and convincing working of the Holy Spirit on the life of the lost one.

    If the Lord chose some to eternal life without the exercise of the human will, then He could force them to worship without their approval. No where in the Bible do we find this suggested as being a Divine verity.
