Angus Stewart on Supernatural and Infallible Regeneration

And a man who has become one of my favorite guests to interview is Back on the program today, and his name is Angus Stewart. He is the pastor of the Covenant Protestant Reformed Church of Balamina Northern Ireland and Today we are going to be addressing supernatural and infallible regeneration most delightful Astonishing mysterious and ineffable and it's my honor and privilege to welcome you back to iron sharpens iron radio pastor Angus Stewart a.

Privilege to be back with you praise God. Well before we go into the theme at hand.

As we normally do When we have a pastor on even if he's already Described his church many times you never know who is Listening who has never heard you before because we seem to be getting new listeners on Nearly a daily basis that we're aware of Added to our audience, so why don't you tell our listeners about Covenant Protestant Reformed Church of Balamina, California.

I'm California Northern Ireland, I don't know where California came from Northern Ireland.

Very natural. Belfast. It's a good congregation, but with Wow The live webcast there's not as much emphasis. Liberty and CPRC co .uk. We now have almost 3 ,000 translations on there. We've been tidying it up today after over.

We know it can turn DVDs through our Lord willing. We've got a cup from the States. So we're probably even working harder now. I.

Know you're saying that you're on lockdown, but you seemed Disappointed that only two people were coming to the public worship. Now, are you. Okay, because I do know churches that are continuing to have public worship in spite of other things going on and of course here in the United States We have as you know 50 states and some of them Have somewhat of a more lax Attitude about actually mandating a lockdown.

And they are just strongly suggesting that people not publicly gather but that is the minority I believe. Well, I am really thrilled that you have all those translations. Now is it of all three forms of unity or is it just one of the three forms of unity that you have all of those translations.

We have those creeds and three forms, you know, they. Wow you mean as far as people who.

Download the information. Yes, that's fascinating because Indonesia has more Muslims per capita than anywhere else in the world.

It does and yeah that made sense.

Defining Regeneration as a Monergistic Work of God

Well, this topic is one in fact, I think every time we have you on the program. The topics we address are one of the most important topics within the Christian faith namely regeneration and. If you could start off our discussion.

By.

Defining regeneration. There are there are Churches that may not even use that word. They may just simply say born again or things like that, but. Tell us about regeneration.

Yes, Chris. Regeneration and re mean for our justification. So regeneration fallible. It's someone article 12 This is the regeneration. So God does his bearded or not here in efficacy. Last point is significant because the canons adored are saying.

And this is double power and Might of God that goes into regenerating one very beginning and Genesis child of his and with all this isn't a create love.

Now, so what you're saying is that? The biblical Understanding of regeneration. Hmm or should I say that in the biblical understanding of regeneration and the historically Protestant Reformational understanding especially the Reformed understanding is That man is completely passive in his own regeneration yes, and yes, and Therefore this is 100 the work of God in this in these individuals Those of us who are born again.

And Here is where the confusion lies with a lot of people especially who don't believe in our understanding of the ordo salutis the order of salvation. I would say that although Reformed theology is on the rise. I still believe we are a minority within Christendom today.

So therefore I believe from what I've heard And read and being in Christian media for so many years. Is that people believe that once they exercise? faith somehow from a soul that is sinful and selfish and wicked they somehow summon up this faith and of course you have Arminians and Roman Catholics having an unbiblical answer on how that is Accomplished through provenient grace they call it which is nowhere in the Bible, but but however.

It's accomplished whenever the human Summons up this faith it therefore Subsequently pleases God and he regenerates them and they are born again.

They have the reverse order that we do very language The day of my birth like born-again Besides the word and then he again someone is born and after they're born and then they start breathing and that breathing is Faith and prayer, but you don't have faith.

It's not of blood. It's not a matter of you're not born born again. For that great I read it of the will. And then if you go from John 1 Well tragically, I've heard a good text from James Chris if you and your readers would like to hear this one.

Yes, I just wanted to say tragically. I've heard people claim that ability not saying I agree or believe that they're telling the truth, but. Some of these word-of-faith Pentecostal heretics will claim they can change the direction of the wind.

You know that that's an interesting point because but logically by your own will it's regeneration is ace. Anybody who claims that they can that they were born again by their own will if they're able I any wit less than the power of Almighty God who raised Lazarus from the dead and Genesis 1.

James 1 then. Yes, here's James. Most people think James. And now listen for the very first thing that James says about regenerate. He Forgot us do not hurt do not hurt my. So therefore our description that you took.

From the three forms of unity Supernatural and infallible. Reggie regeneration That Is proven and everything that you have been saying. Because if it's from God and God alone There's not going to be any halfway Regeneration that fails or there's not going to be any regeneration that a dead sinner can resist.

It will always Got you could always declare or God I should say could always declare After he regenerates a sinner. Mission accomplished.

Because. And now we have to go to our first break. If anybody wants to join us our email address is Chris Arnzen.

Regeneration, Faith, and the Means God Uses

Welcome back. This is Chris Arnzen if you just tuned us in. Our guests today for the full two hours with a little less than 90 minutes to go is Angus Stewart pastor of Covenant Protestant Reformed Church of Ballymena, Northern Ireland.

And we are dressing supernatural and infallible regeneration most delightful astonishing mysterious and Ineffable. And if you have questions, our email address is Chris Arnzen at gmail .com. Chris Arnzen at gmail .com and please give us your first name at least.

Your city and state of residence and your country of residence if you live outside the USA. Only remain anonymous if your question involves a Personal and private matter. And we do have some questions here.

We have Aaron in Indianapolis, Indiana. While every regeneration is truly a miracle I wonder if pastor Stewart might tell of particular supernatural accounts of the Lord's regeneration. Of which he is aware perhaps during awakening or revivals There on the Emerald Isle or in the UK for the sake of glorifying God.

Thank you gentlemen. That's an interesting question because everybody who gets saved is saved in this way, but Perhaps there's more unusual circumstances that might clearly reveal That this salvation or this salvific work was entirely of God.

Do you have an answer for our listener a good question from the brother in Indiana? No, no a sister Aaron.

Erin oh.

God actually means Ireland. Wow. Maybe that's why she Adam Aaron. Start with the Ireland perspective. Confession is a wonderful book writing in in Irish literature. He's writing in the 5th century. He was a Christian that is on the island of Britain probably somewhere in the West by but he was an unbeliever.

And he was taken by Irish revealed himself to to Britain need to preach to the people on the island Ireland to meet him. He dearly loved and he wrecked the Apostle. Oh worked in him might like a good example of a God Regenerated and then working at him might leak is the same grief to the second example and it amazed mice.

But surely you couldn't become a Christian. You couldn't become a Christian. But the point about regeneration is the make any difference easy to him. I really. Then you've got a hunger born babes that is those who are my thought why do you need regeneration if any man?

Creation e PRC dot-co dot-uk. Mary built a Regeneration. Know these things. Well, she says thank you pastor. Yes. I am aware of the beautiful meaning of my name.

I'm not worthy. She says and.

Aaron you have to come over to Ireland and come back to your names home.

Ha ha ha.

There you are, haven't you stolen enough American citizens from this end of the pond here I'm speaking of your your wife was somebody that you stole from our country, isn't she? Well, I also have a question that I will ask you and I will have you answer it when we return.

And I may get myself into trouble with my own fellow Calvinists if I don't word this very carefully and properly but I obviously agree with you and the reformed faith historically that Regeneration is a monergistic act.

It is an act of God alone at the same time. Does not God in his sovereignty? Use means to bring about this miracle of for instance in the the famous parable in Matthew 13 the power parable of The soils or as most people probably call the parable of the seeds and the sower or the sower and the seeds you have Planting and watering going on and then God alone gives the increase which I were Which I would view as regeneration.

We can't be too Disappointed and we can't get involved in self-loathing when we tirelessly evangelize and especially this would go for a missionary who might have given up everything where he lives and gone to a foreign world and may be laboring there for years amongst the people and Either see one or two conversions or maybe none for four years.

Because we we shouldn't be too hard on ourselves because we have to remember it is God that gives the increase. But if you could answer that when we return we're going to our midway break or Longer than normal break right now and please be patient with us.

Those of you who listen to the show regularly will know that The They that you know that the middle break is longer because grace life radio 90 .1 FM in Lake City, Florida uses this portion of the program To air their own public service announcements and other things that localize this program to to Lake City, Florida.

As host of Iron Trumpets Iron Radio, I frequently get requests from listeners for church recommendations. A church I've been strongly recommending as far back as the 1980s is Grace Covenant Baptist Church in Flemington, New Jersey pastored by Alan Dunn.

Grace Covenant Baptist Church believes it's God's prerogative to determine how he shall be worshipped and how he shall be represented in the world. They believe churches need to turn to the Bible to discover what to include in worship and how to worship God in spirit and truth.

Grace Covenant Baptist Church endeavors to maintain a God-centered focus, reading, preaching, and hearing the Word of God, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Baptism and communion are the scriptural elements of their corporate worship, performed with faith, joy, and sobriety.
