发帖数: 3781 | 1 There is not a verse in the Bible, however, which presents Calvinism's radic
al idea that the sinner is incapable of believing the very gospel which offe
rs him forgiveness and salvation and yet he is condemned by God for failing
to believe. In fact, as we shall see, the Bible declares otherwise. "All men
everywhere" (Acts 17:30) are repeatedly called upon to repent and to believ
e on Christ. One would never derive from Scripture the idea that the unregen
erate are unable to believe. Dave Breese, highly respected and brilliant aut
hor and expositor of Scripture, declared that it "cannot be shown that `tota
l depravity' is in fact a scriptural truth." 6
Yet Talbot and Crampton write, "The Bible stresses the total inability of fa
llen man to respond to the things of God .... This is what the Calvinist ref
ers to as `total depravity.' " 7 Palmer calls this doctrine "the most centra
l issue between the Arminian and the Calvinist, what Martin Luther even said
was the hinge on which the whole Reformation turned." 8
As a consequence of the above, the Calvinist insists that regeneration must
precede salvation: "once he [the sinner] is born again, he can for the first
time turn to Jesus ... asking Jesus to save him" [emphasis added].9 R.C. Sp
roul declares, "A cardinal point of Reformed theology is the maxim, `Regener
ation precedes faith.' " 10
Nowhere in Scripture, however, is there a suggestion that man must be regene
rated before he can be saved by faith in Christ. Indeed, many scriptures dec
lare the opposite, for example: " . . . to make thee wise unto salvation thr
ough faith which is in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 3:15), and "ye are all the c
hildren of God by faith in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:26). Faith always prec
edes salvation /regeneraton. There is not one scripture which states clearly
the doctrine that regeneration comes first and then faith follows - not one

Galatians 3:26 所以你们因信基督耶稣，都是神的儿子。
