Puritan Board Freshman
Hi! I was recently told by someone that Calvin in certain writings (I think espically in his commentaries) spoke of regeneration preceding faith and in other spots speaks as if faith precedes regeneration. Does any one know if this is true? I have always assumed that Calvin view was that of regeneration preceeding faith, since that is the Reformed position. This seems very similar to Calvin's views on the atonement. I have seen statements of Calvin that would support limited atonement and others that seem to promote a view of unlimited atonement. Is this double speak on the part of Calvin or just good exegesis based on context. I believe the latter is true but would like to hear your thoughts. Blessings!
