🧵On Saturday, @Soteriology101 asked me to list “the top three” places in Scripture where I claim “we find the teaching of nature-changing regeneration causing faith.” He also said, “if they actually mention the words ‘nature, regeneration or faith’ that would be great.”

𝟏/𝟗
I told him I hoped to be able to fulfill this request today, and that I trusted “top three” did not represent a limit. Plus, I decided to do more than just list them. Hence this thread.

Note: since (a) biblical language is much more flexible than the theological jargon…

𝟐/𝟗
…we adapt from it, and (b) “regeneration” is only used once to refer to the new birth in English translations that even have it, I will supply those texts that teach the concept regardless of how they word it.

I hope you all find this thread helpful. Thanks!

𝟑/𝟗
𝟏) Regeneration Causes Faith in Christ in 1 John 5:1a

𝟒/𝟗
𝟐) Regeneration Causes Faith in John 6:44, 61-65

𝟓/𝟗
𝟑) Regeneration Causes Faith in Deuteronomy 29:4, 30:1-6

𝟔/𝟗
𝟒) Regeneration Causes Faith in Ezekiel 36:25-27

𝟕/𝟗
𝟓) Regeneration Causes Faith in 1 Corinthians 2:12-16

𝟖/𝟗
𝟔) Regeneration Causes Faith in Ephesians 2:1-10

🧵 So, people have been claiming that @bethallisonbarr has provided “receipts” for her narrative that for the past few months she’s expressed “concern” over Mike Law’s list. Has anyone checked those receipts? Perhaps we should.

cc: @megbasham @tomascol @TomBuck @RodDMartin
@bethallisonbarr @megbasham @tomascol @TomBuck @RodDMartin On June 20, Barr says she “didn’t actually look at the list,” but she obviously (a) knew that there was a list, (b) knew that it identified women pastors in the SBC, and (c) raised no ethical concerns about its existence.

On March 24, she said the list gave her hope. She… https://t.co/NN6Pz4UZPDtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@bethallisonbarr @megbasham @tomascol @TomBuck @RodDMartin On March 29, she linked to Carlisle Davidhizar’sarticle. The only thing noticeably new about her comments since March 24 is that she now adopted Davidhizar’s “hit list” rhetoric (which was only in her title). But in context, this term refers to threat of disfellowshipping, not… https://t.co/F9pZy6IWs8twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

🧵: This is a follow-up from my recent Leighton Flowers meme quotetweet. I understand why some make this argument regarding the question of whether “all” always means absolutely 𝑎𝑙𝑙 in Scripture, so I thought it worthy of an extended response (here & in the original thread).
Well sure, God doesn’t exaggerate. Agreed. You make an excellent point. But since God inspired Scripture, what did 𝐻𝑒 mean when He inspired Paul to say, “I have suffered the loss of 𝑎𝑙𝑙 [Greek: 𝑝𝑎̃𝑠 (πᾶς)] things,” (Phil 3:8)? Paul wrote this under the…𝟏/𝟏𝟔
…inspiration of the Spirit, right? So, that means Phil 3:8 isn’t only Paul’s word but God’s. So, in that verse, did God mean that Paul lost literally and absolutely 𝑎𝑙𝑙 he had? Didn’t he still have the clothes he wore? And doesn’t Acts 28:30 tell us that even while…𝟐/𝟏𝟔

𝟏) “Bavinck locates the origin of marital and familial disintegration not in the state, nor society, which precedes the state, but in the entrance of sin into humanity in the Fall in Genesis 3. Thus, at base, it is always primarily sin and the curse that must be… overcome in…

𝟏) An open tweet thread to @timkellernyc from a PCA RE.

Dear brother Tim,

You wrote:

“First, as far as I know, there is not one PCA court — not one session, presbytery, or agency — that has ever endorsed Side B Christianity.”

byfaithonline.com/whats-happenin…
𝟐) As with all your main points, you put this in bold text, so I assume you think its’s a strong one. But with all due respect, brother, while this may be true in a formal sense, in that none of the bodies you cited have issued an official endorsement, I think it’s obviously…
𝟑) …not true in practice, which is what really counts. Greg Johnson’s (@PCAMemorial’s) book, 𝑆𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝐶𝑎𝑟𝑒, contains a very clear, extended endorsement of Side B Christianity on pages 216-219 (under “Renewed Efforts at Care”) where he describes how he…
