A. Carson on the New Birth

ALEXANDER CARSON ON THE USE
OF THE GOSPEL IN THE NEW BIRTH

Brother Stephen Garrett at the BaptistGadfly continues to bless us with his unearthing of great men of the past who held the Baptist view that men are born again by the Spirit's blessing upon the Gospel in contrast to the Pedobaptist Reformed theory that "regeneration precedes faith."
