However, the complication which excites such re-exegesis, at least in terms of the ordo salutis, is often overstated. Indeed, once the intrinsic dependency of conversion-initiation's constituent elements is considered, a general (and essential] order emerges. Even the seemingly mutable moment of regeneration is fixed given a concrete set of conditions. Thus, the only controversy remaining concerns the particulars, specifically which conditions initiate regeneration. |
