We've gone through this spiritually dead stuff before.

The Philippian jailer discussion in which it was impossible for anyone to maintain that Paul did not FIRST say to the Jailer, "believe in the Lord Jesus Christ...."

This spiritually "dead" man was guided preveniently by the grace of God to see his need and so he asked, "What must I do to be saved?" (NOT coincidentally, the title of this thread and of Dwight Moody's sermon.)

Incidentally, do you consider that Dwight Moody was a heretic?

Prevenient Grace, leading Men in this direction or that, does not effect Regeneration. God controls Men's Actions howsoever He wills (Proverbs 21:1), but nonetheless we do know: Unless the Philippian Jailer were Quickened by the Holy Spirit IN ORDER TO understand and receive the Gospel, he would not have "had ears to hear". This Scripture teaches.
