According to I Corinthians 2:14, we cannot understand the gospel unless we have been regenerated, correct? Nope, incorrect.
BTW, my apologies: I accidentally recorded this video in low resolution. Sorry for the bad quality! The teaching, however, is stellar. :)
Here is the verse in question:
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (1 Corinthians 2:14)
If we consider the context, we will see that Paul is talking about revelation. We cannot know anything about the gospel through our own wisdom, logic, or philosophy. The gospel comes from the heart of God, so the only way to know it is through revelation.
This passage is not about salvation; it's about revelation. Therefore, it is insufficient to be used as a Calvinist proof text.
