Salvation begins by the sovereign work of the Father through the Holy Spirit in regeneration. It doesn't begin according to our little, puny, human will to be saved after hearing a scary sermon.
That which is "born again" must be "born of God"... not flesh, will, or man. Born of God.

So someone who is pricked in their hearts and then refuses to respond to that prick.
Saved huh?
He was saved at the prick but then lost his salvation when he refused?
Explain to me how that works. Not all who are pricked in their heart decide that living for God is what they want more.
