Quotes About Regeneration

And the heart of it is this. Real conversions are marked by the fruit of the Spirit, not the gifts of the Spirit. Regeneration has a tell, and that tell is love.

To be explicit, all teaching that grace is somehow imparted to an infant ex opere operato (automatically, by some kind of ecclesiastical magic) is rejected here as sub-Christian (indeed, as will be seen, it is sub-Jewish), and detrimental to a faithful preaching of the gospel.

The question of how this information is transferred is one of the hardest problems ever tackled by scientists, and when we fully know the answer, we'll understand not only regeneration but the entire process of growth from egg to adult. For now, we had best, as biologists themselves have done, skip this problem and return to it after addressing some slightly easier ones.

It seems reasonable that understanding what comes out of the blastema would be easier if we understood what goes into it, so the other major questions about regeneration have always been: What stimulates the blastema to form? And where do its cells come from?
