Any view of the "new birth" that alleges that
the new birth takes place before this calling by the means of the Word
and the Spirit -- such as the Hardshells and "pre-faith new birth" theorists
teach -- is NOT the view taught in our Baptist Confession of Faith. That
is obviously why the Hardshells met together years ago to, in effect, set aside
the Baptist Confession and adopt a revision which they called the "Fulton
Confession."
John 3:14, 15:
"And as Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life."
