Just for the sake of good conversation, how would you respond?
1. Can you give Biblical refutation of the idea that one can be
regenerate, but not elect (as some Roman Catholic apologists claim that
Augustine, Aquinas, and even Luther taught). Of course, all elect
are/will be regenerated and will be received into glory - but all the
regenerated that are not elect fall away and are damned. I don't think
Calvinists would agree with this.
2. A prominent Roman Catholic apologist was explaining that the
Bible nowhere teaches penal substitution in the atonement, but rather
vicarious satisfaction is what is taught in the Bible, and by the church
fathers, including Aquinas. Is this correct?
