Why does it seem that every few months, some of those "Historical Reformed" baptists love to come on here and correct us wayward brethren.

Frankly, I am sick of the stupid arguments about regeneration before faith.

Spurgeon said

"If I am to preach the faith in Christ to a man who is regenerated, then the man, being regenerated, is saved already, and it is an unnecessary and ridiculous thing for me to preach Christ to him, and bid him to believe in order to be saved when he is saved already, being regenerate. Am I only to preach faith to those who have it? Absurd, indeed! Is not this waiting till the man is cured and then bringing him the medicine? This is preaching Christ to the righteous and not to sinners." [Sermon entitled The Warrant of Faith].

Even the great herald of the faith, that godly baptist calvinist Spurgeon, disagrees with the stupidity of regeneration before faith.

EDIT: I have not found Spurgeon ever attempting to correct D. L. Moody, who was not a calvinist at all.
