Hardshell Description Of Regenerated People

Hardshell Baptists believe that these words of Christ - "You are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked" (Rev. 3: 20) describe regenerated people. How much more absurd can one be, theologically speaking? That is a description of lost people and the church of Laodicea had such as members. There are lots of unregenerate people who are members of churches. Do our Hardshell brothers deny this? 

See my previous posts on Rev. 3: 20

"Hardshells Affirm That They Are Saved!" (here)

"Further Thoughts On Rev. 3:17-22" (here)

"On The Right Track on Rev. 3:20" (here)

To look at the adjectives describing these people (wretched, miserable, poor, blind, naked) and say that they describe regenerate people is pure nonsense. It is about as bad as those commentators who say that the six descriptive words of Hebrews 6: 4-5 refer to lost people! Lost people may be "once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come."

What think ye?
