One school of theologians says that regeneration precedes both repentance and faith. Another school says that repentance, faith and regeneration are so closely and inseparably connected that no line can be drawn between them. Years ago, Dr. J.S. Coleman and Dr. J.H. Spencer discussed this question in the Recorder. Dr. Coleman took the pre-regeneration theory and Dr. Spencer the other. This writer thinks that Dr. Spencer sustained his contention and to this day he has had no reason to change. However many strong writers agree with Dr. Coleman's view.
