John Gill in his comments upon Romans 8: 22 wrote (emphasis mine):
"...regeneration is owing to the grace of God, which is compared to "seed", of which men are born again; the means of conveying it is the Gospel, and ministers are the instruments of begetting souls to Christ, and who travail in birth till Christ be formed in them..."
Now, is this "primitive" or "old" or "original" Baptist teaching or not? I say it is, and so did the forefathers of today's Hardshells, but today's Hardshells say it is not so. They affirm that the above statement of Gill is a new doctrine, and not the historic teaching of their forefathers. But, why can they not prove their claim?
