Yes, she apparently was "regenerated" by being zapped as opposed to being raised with Christ (the one who was regenerated).

Believing the Gospel (assuming it's even the right one) is simply another work that indicates you got regenerated but is not the means by which God regenerates you. It's just another work that proves you're right with God and that you've been made able to obey Him in His Lordship.
That's why Heir's hammering on the saving Gospel irks Nang and others so much...it's just not as big a deal as election, which is everything.

I agree. Believing the gospel and trusting the LORD is irrelevant to her, if you have not been zapped.
Indeed.
LA, wants me to confess I've been involved with heresy! She would have made a good Inquisitor at the Inquisition. Why she'd have old GM burned at the stake in a heartbeat. Marshmallows anyone?
Couldn't you just see Nang and LA at the Salem Witch trials? They'd make Matthew Hopkins look like Billy Graham in comparison.
Unfinished business is an aptly named title for this thread. The unfinished business is those who have heard the Grace Gospel and rejected it at this venture.

Yep. That's why she said a few weeks ago that the Gospel CAN save a person.
Just not anybody.

Being zapped is the power of God unto salvation, believing the gospel is just something that follows being zapped.

"Goodness, Thurston, I don't want to be in a Heaven where just anyone can get in!"
I suspect the highbrow reformed types will be appalled at how many low lifes of society have trusted the LORD, the homeless, ex cons, tattoed, pierced, dirty, and uneducated. I wonder if that's repulsive to them?

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

:chuckle: I don't need remission of sins looking forward to the blotting out of sins as those at Pentecost (Acts 3:19-21 KJV). I'm forgiven all trespasses (Colossians 2:13 KJV). I've now received the atonement (Romans 5:11 KJV). Why haven't you?

What none of you seem to realize, is that until a dead sinner is given a new heart, and raised to new spiritual life, not a one of them can or will believe the Gospel message.
Spiritually dead people cannot hear or see (comprehend) the promises of God, until their hearts of stone are changed and they are given ears to hear and eyes to see.

When do you believe Jesus Christ was ever "regenerated?"
What is your definition of this theological term?
Hint: "Regeneration" is an invisible, miracle of spiritual resurrection . . not to be confused with bodily resurrection.
