AG STUDY GUIDE FINAL - The Forerunner

6. To the Calvinists, this view reduced God to little more than a concerned
______________________ and placed _______ in the ultimate position of
sovereignty.
7. Dr. Steven Mansfield: God goes ___________ people.
John Newton chided the Remonstrance when he wrote:
“We zealously contend for this point in our debates with the
Arminians; and are ready to wonder that any should be hardy enough

_______. If man is merely wounded and not _________, then he’s still conscious
and has a choice of whether to take the medicine.

__________________ and therefore isn’t capable by himself of even choosing —
much less taking — the medicine of God’s eternal life. Like a corpse in a morgue,

Holy Spirit’s call to repentance and redemption unless the same Spirit first
makes him alive.
10. Dr. D. James Kennedy speaks about: the a.) ________________ call, which comes

heart is changed, the mind is open, the ________ is transformed. Only then can
the recipient of this grace say “it is the voice of my beloved.”
11. Dr. Joe Morecraft: As a result of the Holy Spirit’s regenerating power, the

seeking to serve Him and ______________________ of his sins.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, that unless a man is born-again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3: 3
