So am I wrong for thinking that a choice is not for real?

Now am I wrong for thinking we're responsible when we see?

That's just why it's real.

It's time for the Soteriology 101 podcast, where God is most glorified by his love and provision

for all people. Welcome your host. The director of apologetics for Texas Baptists, an adjunct professor

of theology, and a local teaching pastor, Dr. Layton Flowers. Welcome back to Sochiology 101. As you can see there on

the screen, we're going to talk about regeneration, being reborn. Are we reborn so as to believe,

or do we believe so as to be reborn? In other words, does regeneration proceed faith? Now, we've

talked about this on the broadcast here and there,

but I've never done one here on the YouTube page really going through this presentation,

and I want to do that today, especially with regard to the late great R.C. Spruill.

And I say that in sincerity. I grew up listening to reading table talk and listening to

Linginger ministry tapes that came in the mail back in

those old cassette tapes. I used to get those things on a regular basis and listen to them

religiously. I love R.C. Spruill in so many ways. And I said that I mispronounce his name.

It's supposed to be like Sproles, Sproal, Spruill, I don't know. I've always called

Marcy Spruill, and that's the way I've always referred to him as, and I'm apologizing. I mispronounce

a lot of things if y'all don't notice. And I, I, my wife points out my grammar mistakes and

my mispronunciations on a regular basis. And I try. I'm really

about at spelling too, so if that makes you feel any better. But I want to listen to R.C. Spruill,

with respect, like Piper and other guys, I have a lot of respect for it. I just disagree with him on

this particular point. He has a lot of great stuff on his apologetics and his theology that I really do enjoy and I've used throughout
