Does Regeneration Precede Faith? The Depravity Debate Between Leighton Flowers and Joel Webbon

Pastor Joel Webbon and Dr. Leighton Flowers participated in a formal debate live and in-person in the studio. They debated the premise "Man is unable to come to God because regeneration must necessarily precede faith." Does regeneration (being born again) precede faith? Or does faith precede regeneration?

We will be using a traditional debate format with opening statements, rebuttals, cross-examination, closing statements, and live Q&A from our live studio audience and our live online audience.

We will discuss reformed Christian regeneration theology. soteriology and Calvinism. We also examine born again theology and what it means to be born again. Join us for this exciting Joel Webbon vs Leighton Flowers debate.

God has predestined me to watch this debate and reject Calvinism.

1:21:37 Brother Joel says "The gospel doesn't have a power to ontologicaly change anybody".
However Romans 1:16 says "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel because IT IS the Power of God unto Salvation to everyone that believes".

Anytime a Pastor has to say "Jesus isn't helpful here." it's a clear indicator that something is dreadfully wrong with his theology. Thus he and his congregation is in need of help.

Thank you Dr Flowers for helping me de-Calvinize

[GunRock]

My Jaw dropped when I heard this Q&A, especially the A: 1:25:55
Q: Why is Jesus marveling at peoples unbelief if he made them that way? It's like marveling that people can't breathe underwater.
A: "I don't think Jesus was particularly helpful (to Cultvinism) here." 😯
GAME, SET & MATCH!!

If you're already regenerated then why do you need to hear the gospel you'd already be saved I don't get it

[jbartz]

Wow!, at 1:26:07 Leighton asks a question about Mark 6:6, Jesus words and Jeff Webbin says, I don’t think Jesus is particularly helpful here”. That should tell you a lot.

[HuelgasTed]

Thanks Leighton Flowers, all this years, I did not know I was a provisionist until I heard videos like this.

[robertrodrigues]

This is the greatest Biblical Soteriology vs Heretical Calvinism debate ever. God bless you Dr Flowers

[friendshipchronicles]

Best lighting I have ever seen in a debate. To the film team - excellent work!!

Thank you to the participants.

[austinh]

Leighton Flowers is an absolute expert in this area of theology. Well spoken thought provoking questions. Bravo.

[thirdplace]

My jaw dropped when the Calvinist rebuked Jesus for "not being very helpful" during Leighton's question period. Bro, if you think for one second Jesus isn't very helpful to your doctrine it's a red flag your doctrine is wrong.

[bridgitmorris]

It's hard listening to Pastor Joel it grieves my heart.

[lark]

Dr. Flowers' question about Colossians 2:12 and Webbon's response to it is what won the debate for Leighton in my opinion.

[peterbasco]

Leighton Flowers, clear explanation and true exegetical interpretation of scripture is why i'm a Provisionist.

Remember. You cannot have a loving relationship unless both parties enter it willingly, and from their own free will.

[TheUrbanPerspective]

Dr. Flowers opening was 🔥🔥🔥. The way he went through each letter of the TULIP acrostic to reveal the holes in a Calvinistic soteriological perspective was biblically stellar!

[cecilspurlockjr.]

The good news of salvation through CHRIST ( the gospel )is not in the message of Calvinism .. The only news is you might be elect so give it a shot, you might get lucky..

[titosantiago]

Thank you Dr. Leighton Flowers for clearly presenting the unadulterated Gospel in simplicity and Truth.

[Mike]

Great debate. In the end Flowers has it. Remember: "God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being."
