Regeneration precedes faith — the core of Calvinism, which Mike rejects

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 8) Fixed and Reuploaded 00:05:06 – 00:06:35

Mike identifies what he sees as the single unifying point underlying all five TULIP points.

Mike argues that all five points of Calvinism are really just one point said five different ways: regeneration precedes faith. On Calvinism, you are regenerated first, then you can't help but believe. Mike explicitly rejects this ordo salutis. He notes that some Arminians hold to prevenient grace and still affirm Total Depravity, which he finds confusing. He says he simply does not affirm Total Depravity to begin with.
