Randy – Regeneration & Conversion

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Randy discusses what Primitive Baptists believe regarding the doctrines of regeneration and conversion.  Regeneration is the sovereign act of God to speak life to a child of God and make him, in that instant, fit for heaven at his death – this is what is normally referred to as “being born again.”  But Randy also stressed that conversion, which is an act of God (and the will of a regenerate man) to turn to God in repentance and obedience, is also presented in the bible in terms of a new birth.
