[Dr. Eckleburg]

I really like Bunker and think he's excellent. On this one subject, Regeneration, I think he teeters on the edge of a hole sometimes dug by Baptists which tends to describe regeneration as an "event."

I've come to understand our salvation more in terms of God simply revealing His truth to us and permitting us to understand it. That's regeneration, which can come quickly or take years to solidify into our hearts and brains. Either way, it's the supernatural process whereby God personally reveals Himself and Christ's redemption of us through Scripture and the leading of the Holy Spirit. And on this I know Bunker agrees.

I hope you post more threads from Bunker, Alpha. I admire his strength and clarity.

And I strongly encourage all Reformers to read Bunker's terrific book, "Swarms of Locusts."

"I think he teeters on the edge of a hole sometimes dug by Baptists which tends to describe regeneration as an "event."

Why do these threads always have to degenerate into a Baptist bashing thread. Why can't it be a Presbyterian bashing thread or a Methodist bashing thread or an Anglican bashing thread or a Reformed bashing thread or even a thin skinned Calvinist bashing thread? Always a Baptist. It's just a good thing we are so good natured and secure in our salvation, sanctification and perfection. By the way, regeneration is an event, a point in time occurrence. "You must be born again". Now I admit some of us might seem to be in perpetual childhood, but that is just slow maturing not prolonged spiritual pregnancy.
