I just read the next part of Andrew Fuller

.....Though Mr. T talks of men as having no will or power to believe in Christ, nor any concern in the matter "prior to the Spirit's work (XII 23.) yet that is not what i have never affirmed. On the contrary, i maintain that men have the same power, strictly speaking, before they are wrought upon by the Holy Spirit, as after; and before conversion as after, that the work of the Spirit endows us with no new rational powers that are necesary to moral agency..." (Works II, pp. 546-547)

I know that Huntington, Philpot, Rushton and others were hardly disgaree with Fuller teachings.

What do you think concerning Fuller is he in error or not, i read that he was very much inspired by Jonathan Edwards.

"To our mind, either everything or nothing must be held in subjection to the will and providence of God. Even the wickedness of ungodly men is restricted by predestination, so that the wrath of man shall praise God, and the remainder of wrath He will restrain." - GILBERT BEEBE (1800-1881)
