I have a question.
Today i hath discussion with a brother from a evangelical church, and i shared him my view, that the sealing of the spirit does not happen at the moment of Regeneration, but at moment of conversion, because in Ephesians 1:13 is written:
"In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise..."
My view is:
1) Regeneration, or being made alive through the Spirit
2) The Spirit gives your faith to trusted and to believe in the Gospel
3) After that, the Holy Spirit sealed that person
Iam right or wrong, to see a clear order of salvation, and that the sealing happen not at the moment of being born again, but after you believe ?
That brother said to me, that iam dividing the work of the Spirit, because the regeneration, faith and sealing happen al at once in the same time.
Is he right, and iam wrong ?
Can there be a time distance of Regeneration and faith ?
If so, any scripture ?
I hope that somone can help me with that.
