Dr. Brian Abscaiano’s article critiquing the Calvinist claims on the use of 1 John 5:1 to support regeneration preceding faith is now available online. While it was initially posted online, it was later removed because the Journal it was published in did not grant permission for public posting. However, after a year those rights revert back to the author. Sadly this was not known initially, or it could have been posted publicly many years ago. Well, better late than never! This is a must read article on this important passage that Calvinists have wrongly used as a prooftext for their ordo salutis for many years. The article is now available at the SEA site: “Brian J Abasciano, “Does Regeneration Precede Faith? The Use of 1 John 5:1 as a Proof Text”

Sweet! Looking forward to reading this one as it hits close to home regarding my exodus from Calvinism.
