in The Primitive Baptist (Feb.1841)
[R]EGENERATION MUST BE THE ACTION of the Holy Spirit, at the instance of God’s will; for if the sinner is the subject actedupon, he cannot be his own actor upon any principle of law that I have ever read. And in all this, I think there can be nothing licentious; for if I understand the doctrine of predestination, it contends for the doctrine of repentance, weeping, mourning, crying, seeking, praying and all the divine exercises of grace in the soul; but contends for them as the fruit of grace. |
