Regeneration and Salvation?

Below is an overview of Perkins' "slim" playback theory by Dr. Masters.

Perkins believes there is a long process before and after regeneration. He proposed ten stages: -

This word's work may involve external or internal 'crossing' or crisis. It is to bring the sinner's stubborn nature to the will of God.

4. God fears punishment and hell to defeat the sinner's heart and desperately depends on his own efforts to get salvation.

5. The idea was evoked and the promise of salvation presented in the Gospel should be carefully considered.

6. God will ignite the spirit of seed or faith, or willingness or desire for believing, and will give grace to resist suspicion and despair

7. There is a contradiction that the measure of faith overrides suspicion, despair, distrust. In this fight, this person is eager, constantly and eagerly seeking forgiveness.

God calms conscience, makes his own salvation more reliable, and the soul rests on the promise of life.

This man repented truly sadly. Because he pissed off such kind and loving God.

Peson showed a new obedience to follow the order of God and to walk a new life.

Perkins believes that the first five phases may occur in the lives of unsaved people (Felix, Agrippa, 'Stone', 'tough' ground listeners), but in the case of voters, the kings Taught them to prepare for regeneration by humbling them in the first five stages.

I think this is a bit too complicated. You can not track all these stages of conversions. But those who read Bunyan's explanation of his conversion will know that he had a hard time hitting a solid belief for about 18 months. "Slim play" also explains the case of Cornelius. He is a religious person who clearly has faith and is seeking God, but he has not been completely born and transformed until Peter got to talk to him.

God saved our regeneration process. Salvation is not an end, but a means. The end is playback. The intention of God is that they will return his people to their pre-fallen state so that they exercise their good deeds and become sacred and innocent according to his elections before the world is established is. This is the achievement of purification of the Holy Spirit in regeneration. But the Holy Spirit is regenerated only in Christ. In other words, in order to achieve this kind of regeneration, individuals who choose God from the foundations of the world must enter Christ. This is where salvation comes.

Baptism reproduction: a belief that regeneration (ie, a new life), and hence redemption or eternal life, conditions water baptism. Most groups that teach this doctrine also add that you must use the appropriate model (immersion or sprinkle) and / or the appropriate minister (the term approved by the organization). All Christians should be baptized (Matthew 28: 19). However, the teaching that baptism is a prerequisite for salvation is thought to be a compromise of the gospel of grace by the Bible alone (Ephesians 2: 8-10) by many evangelists. Regeneration of extreme baptism, even Christians who were baptized outside certain church groups deny amends. This is obviously heretical. Salvation of work, salvation of grace, see the Gospel

Grace resists: God takes the initiative in the process of salvation, and his grace will come to all. This grace (often called planned or renewed grace) works to make the gospel believe, strongly attract to salvation, and to enable faithful faith. Pirinly said, "In fact, this advantage is very close to regeneration, unless it is ultimately resisted, it inevitably leads to regeneration." However, regardless of whether it is free or negative, how to respond with influence
