Monergistic Regeneration
According to the Original Jewish Greek/Hebrew context, Calvinistic Monergistic Regeneration is more Biblically Accurate than Synergistic Regeneration.
The strongest biblical case for monergistic regeneration logically preceding faith and repentance is that Scripture describes the unregenerate person as unable to produce the very spiritual response that saving faith requires, while God is presented as the one who first changes the heart.
In John 3:3–8, Jesus says one must be γεννηθῇ ἄνωθεν (gennēthē anōthen, “be born from above”) before he can “see” the kingdom. The verb is passive: the sinner does not birth himself. Jesus compares regeneration to the wind—“the Spirit blows where He wills”—making the Spirit, not autonomous human will, the decisive cause.
Then 1 Corinthians 2:14 says the ψυχικὸς ἄνθρωπος (psychikos anthrōpos, natural/unspiritual person) οὐ δύναται γνῶναι—“is not able to know/receive” the things of the Spirit because they are spiritually discerned. That is inability, not merely unwillingness. Therefore saving reception of the gospel requires a preceding work of the Spirit.
The Hebrew of Ezekiel 36:26–27 gives the same order: God says, “I will give” a new heart, “I will put” a new spirit within you, remove the heart of stone, and then cause you—וְעָשִׂיתִי (weʿasiti, “I will cause/make”)—to walk in His statutes. God changes the heart; the transformed person's response follows.
Likewise, with Lydia, Acts 16:14 says ὁ κύριος διήνοιξεν τὴν καρδίαν—“the Lord opened her heart”—προσέχειν (prosechein, “to pay attention/respond”) to Paul's message. And repentance itself is said to be granted by God in Acts 11:18 and 2 Timothy 2:25.
So the logical order is:
Spirit gives life/new heart → spiritual ability → faith and repentance → continuing obedience.
Synergism must posit that the spiritually dead/natural person supplies the decisive cooperative response before this transforming work is complete; monergism more naturally fits the grammar and causal sequence: God makes alive, opens the heart, and grants the response; the regenerated person therefore believes and repents.
Regeneration means God sovereignly gives spiritual life to a spiritually dead sinner by the Holy Spirit, replacing the heart of stone with a heart of flesh, so the person willingly repents and believes in Christ.
Therefore the Order of Salvation is: 1. Election → 2. Effectual Calling → 3. Regeneration → 4. Faith and Repentance → 5. Justification → 6. Adoption → 7. Sanctification → 8. Perseverance → 9. Glorification.
