About this listen

"Word and Spirit" is a very popular expression among the Reformed Baptist, and by that expression they mean that the Holy Spirit uses the preaching of the Gospel to accomplish the miracle of regeneration in spiritually dead sinners. While this may sound honouring to the ministry of the gospel, it actually degrades the power of the Holy Ghost and reduces the miracle of regeneration to a mere accomplishment of human power. A sinner is not partially wounded and struggling with hope. He is dead, dead, and dead, and requires first that the state of death be abolished and life be given him, before he can cooperate or respond to the preaching of the gospel in faith and repentance. This is not fatalism but truth. This is not hypercalvinism but bible Christianity. What the Reformed Baptist do not understand is that there is a difference between regeneration and conversion. Both are not the same. Regeneration makes conversion possible, and sets the stage for it. Think of John the Baptist. He was born again in his mother's womb by being filled with the Holy Ghost, and he leaped for joy. What about Cornelius? He was born again long before he met Peter. The same with Lydia in Acts 16; the same with any elect of God.
