I have a friend that calls himself a Calvinist. He agrees with every aspect of the five points except the fact that regeneration proceeds faith. He will say that God must do something to a sinner in order for that sinner to be saved and if God does this "thing" (which he will not name) to that sinner that sinner will be saved, must be saved and cannot run the risk of being anything but saved. Yet he does not call this "thing" God does regeneration or being born again or any of the many biblical phrases for this act. He thinks that regeneration and faith happen simultaneously.
Is there any advice you can give to help in showing my friend that faith does proceed faith?
