I would think that he would be able to do spiritual good. Yet, I think that if at anytime he think himself outside of totally depraved, he is fooling himself and then will fall once again. Yet, again, being in our condition, if we look at Paul or Peter etc..., they were in the Spirit and performed wonders given to them by the Father. This was limited.

Our regeneration today would afford us forgiveness of sins but not the ability to escape our nature. Even the best pastor who is for Christ and Christ for him, stumbles. And one violation of the law violates the entire law -> total violation -> total deprivation.
