It was mentioned on another thread that some members felt like they had been saved or regenerated again when they came under the knowledge of the Doctrines of Grace. The question posed is 'Can a man be saved without understanding justification by faith alone'. If you were saved under Arminian preaching and based your salvation on the altar call or prayers prayed, were you truly saved? Is it possible that you were regenerated and yet to be converted under sound preaching and sound theology?
Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, If one is not generated from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.
Rom 10:17 Then faith is of hearing, and hearing through the Word of God.

| Essentially, I think as long as one confesses with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and believes in his heart that God raised him from the dead, then I think you should have assurance.

Hopefully an Arminian is not putting their faith in walking down an aisle or a prayer anymore than a Calvinist puts his hope in his faith to believe that he is justified by faith.

This statement confuses me? Can you explain? I am putting my hope in this God given faith that I am justified accordingly.
