Re: That would be the Calvinist: "Irresistible Grace" fantasy -

I agree.. Calvinists need to believe that they're special and that they got the call to repentance which they couldn't resist.. because their testimony is that they could not believe that Christ died for their sins.. God had to repent and believe for them.

But once one is coming, they have already been regenerated..thats what the coming signifies..

For darkness does not come to the light at all..

So being drawn means spiritual life is present already..

I also consulted strongs, and thats how I know your defining of the word is incomplete, mine is more complete..

Jesus gives the cause for their inability or the no, its simply because they are not born of God..Until that happens, which man has no control over, it will always be a negative reaction to the things of God, to include hearing His word..
