I have a question about the Reformed Ordo, specifically my question is about where faith and union whith Christ are within it? Is this the typical order:
1.Effectual Calling
2.Regeneration
3.Faith
4.Union
5.Justiciation
(and so on)
or is it:
1.Effectual Calling
2.Union
3.Regeneration
4.Faith
5.Justification
(and so on)
It seems that the confessions speak of us being united to Christ in our effectual calling by faith. And since regeneration precedes faith, I assumed that faith must come after effectual call and regeneration. Also it seems that the union with Chris must come after faith, not before. Although I understand that many Reformed have also spoken of a decretal union, and that is not what I'm talking about. Are there disagreements about this within Reformed circles?
