Some receive the Holy Ghost first and may have a different story of the work of regeneration.
But, in all, it has to begin at repentance, because if you aren't sorry - how can you turn around?

We agree for the most part ... it is the turning around ... that allows God's free gift of salvation to work in us ... but once again ... some would like to make the New Birth hoops we must jump through .... to be justified before God.
