Calvinism does not teach that unregenerate man can do anything until God regenerates him first. So, now you want to run from that dogma when it is inconvenient.
God can also allow a spiritual dead man to ask the question Sirs, what must I do to be saved
and then give the simple, straight forward answer believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
But it is the Calvinsts who deny that (1) the man actually had to do something (2) that faith preceeds regeneration. This is all based on your notion of Total inability. Asserting that a dead man cannot do anything regarding the Gospel. Now, however Spurgeon is telling us that same dead man can be now be drawn prior to regeneration.
No, I get it very well, Calvinism is pure mysticism based on philosophical speculation.
The mortal mind cannot know the nature of God; you presume far too much. - Take his word at it's literal face value and you cannot go wrong.
I do take his word at face value
Sirs, what must I do to be saved? Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and thy household. (Acts.16:31)I see someone asking what he must do and then being told what he must do -believe.
Now, what part of that Scripture teaches regeneration preceeds faith? In fact, which Scripture teaches that? Only your own speculations on the nature of spiritual death lead you to conclude that. You do not get it from any clear statement from scripture.
It is Calvinism that presumes too much
Amen! The supposedly "inable" man asks what to do. Paul tells him he must choose to believe. Then Paul says that following that believing the man will be saved.
