Felicity, I don't believe we're regenerated until we've obeyed the gospel.....which is the death, (repentance), baptism, (burial) and ressurection of Jesus Christ (receiving the Holy ghost). We can believe, and even feel the presence of God, until the cows come home. But until we've acted...as in the book of Acts.....we're not saved.
God did his part on the cross. Why do some of us balk and want to stay at the 'cross'?
That was NEVER God's plan........
