Through their huge discography, the band have proven themselves able to deliver everything from ethereal electronic pop to highly charged dancefloor industrial with equal skill. Although some modern electronica elements and other various influences have seeped into Regenerator's sound, their unique style has always surprisingly remained intact, revolving around their characteristic shared male & female vocals. Wrex's sombre melancholic growling vocals indeed always enter in perfect duality with Patrice's wide ranging and breathy sensual vocals.
Regenerator are reknown for the beautiful and shimmering contrasts in their work where love and hate struggle, where male and female vocals intermingle, and where melody and energy become one. For over a decade Regenerator has been creating their unique blend of dark electro, which they have also presented live, through successful tours throughout Europe and the U.S. From the outset the band has continued to garner the recognition, respect & admiration of their fans, press & peers.

@john wu Matthew 10: 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from YOUR FATHER’S WILL. Leighton will tell you it is the bird’s fault. But what about the greatest catastrophic event? Was God not in control of that?
Matthew 10:34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. After God created all things and God saw that it was good [perfect] God planted a tree: “The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and EVIL.” Men did not know about evil but God did.
Blasphemers are those that deny the Sovereignty of God. Iblīs was an Angel he was cast out of heaven because he argued with God why He created men who He made out of clay in His own Image with so much Glory. He said with more other angels to God: "You created them from clay and us from Fire why are we servants." we should receive more glory than they. God’s anger arose and Fire came from His Nostrils. The anger of God was never seen before. Michael and the angels on God’s side started war and threw Iblīs and his followers out of Heaven. Due to his fall from God's grace and jealousy he went to the earth to Paradise and deceived Adam and Eve to hurt God in the Crown of His creation. Iblis is often identified with Al-Shaitan ("the Devil"). It is a story from older manuscripts. The name Iblīs is derived from Ancient Greek διάβολος (diábolos) It is not Canonical. However something similar has happened.
There was no Devil on day 6 when God saw that all he made was GOOD.
If God did ?? not predetermine things???? God The Creator of Heaven and Earth could have thrown Iblīs In hell in the outer darkness or even destroy/ Annihilate him completely. But no God let him go to the earth take upon himself the form of a snake and deceive Eva and then Adam by his own wife, God gave him. Did God just only know that it would happen? God already had a plan of salvation and that Christ our Lord would come and die for the sins of the world. The plan was not optional it was determent. God prevented them to eat from the tree of life and live.
Joseph went to see his Brothers. What happened they were jealous of him being his dad’s favored kid. We know what happened he was sold as a slave to Egypt. He becomes the slave of Potiphar. His wife want Joseph in her bed. Joseph refusal end him up in jail where he reveals a dream and because of it he was called by pharaoh who also had a dream. He became the second ruler in Egypt. When his brothers came because of hunger in the world. Was God in Control of that? Joseph tells his brothers Genesis 45:5 But don’t be upset. And don’t be angry with yourselves because you sold me here. God sent me ahead of you to SAVE MANY LIVES. 6 For two years now, there hasn’t been enough food in the land. It was God’s plan even the drought God could have given rain. God knew that the drought would force Jacob and Joseph's brothers to Egypt and made Joseph go ahead of them. It's clear this was the plan of God! Jacob went to Egypt to move there and see Joseph again. God did NOT tell Jacob to start a mission post in Egypt. Did they not need the faith of Jacob if God wants them Saved? But instead God gave them their own territory the land of Goshen separated from the Egyptians. The Israelites became Slaves for 400 years. This the Lord already told Abraham It was not an option it was determent and instead of doing mission they started to serve the Idols of the Egyptians. God made pharaoh affright for the Israelites [or was it not God Who controlled even the tiniest thought of the Pharaoh if He can Harden his heart?] He started to kill every boy born to the Israelites. Because of it Moses ended up with the princes of Egypt and could have all the riches of Egypt but: Hebrews 11:24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, You get it God was in control of the weather and could have given rain so Joseph’s brothers would not have gone to Egypt. Pharaoh’s heart would not have been hardened and all first born in Egypt who did not know the left from the right hand not have died. All the calamities in the desert would not have happened. From the almost 2 Million people that left Egypt non entered the promised land. What about all the first born in Egypt who died because God hardened the heart of Pharaoh. All the army of pharaoh drowned in the red sea without the Gospel. And the order of the Lord to kill each other after worship of the Golden Calf. 3,000 were killed by sword instead of a temporary punishment to give them time to repent and being forgiven. This worship was because they went to Egypt were they learned serving Idol gods. Was that a good reason for God to let them kill each other? Or did God not have to give an account to anyone for what He does? according to you God was wrong.
Daniel 4: 34 At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored him who lives forever, for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom endures from generation to generation; 35 all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and he does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, “What have you done?”
Just a period of drought created all this and Joseph being sold to Egypt.
If God is Confused then Arminian Leighton and the other Palagians or semi Palagians are Right. If God is the All Glorious Lord Creator and the Alpha and the Omega the Begin of all things and the Ruler of all the earth and Do whatever him pleases. Better remember what Happened to Iblīs I say Iblīs and not Lucifer because that is the King Of Babylon and a wrong translation of the word Morning Star. While all is translated in English it is left in Latin. This is why the Mormons say that Jesus is the Brother of Lucifer.
Revelation 20: 1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more.
Why now release Satan to deceive the nations? Did God just know? Where does it say that?
Revelation 20:7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan WILL BE released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. “WILL BE” means it will happen BECAUSE of God’s Decree
This lifetime is short and Hell is forever. Would you rather be presumptuous and not find out the truth.
…Then the righteous will answer him, saying, “Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?” And the King will answer them, “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.” (Matthew 25:37-40) those being Saved by grace did not know that what they did that pleased God. They knew themselves to be undeserving sinners. Only on the day the New Jerusalem comes down from Heaven we sure will know 2 things <1> It was grace and grace alone I would have chosen dead if it would have been up to me. <2> What God our Lord did was the MOST perfect plan men could never even imagine before it was revealed in Eternity.
Sola Scriptura
The phrase that captures the essence of reformed theology isn't even biblical.
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians 1:13 KJV
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
1 Corinthians 1:21
Not "to cause belief in them that he saved"
Also Romans 10:10 doesn't say that the heart believes after it has been made righteous. It says it believes unto righteousness.

SPROUL'S DILEMMA:
1. The exercise of faith is synergistic. (TRUE) "When God regenerates a human soul, when he makes us spiritually alive, we make choices. We believe. We have faith. We cling to Christ. God does not believe for us. Faith is not monergistic." (Chosen by God, Sproul, p.118)
2. The exercise of faith is required for justification (FALSE). "Justification is by faith. Faith is a necessary requirement." (Chosen by God, Sproul, p.155)
3. There is no eternal salvation without justification (TRUE). Affirmed by ALL reformed Christians.
These affirmations deny monergistic eternal salvation because they place the synergistic exercise of faith in the critical path to justification which is required for eternal salvation. Thus Sproul's "monergistic" salvation is dependent upon the admittedly synergistic actions of God and man. It follows that this is a synergistic system of salvation.
This is not only Sproul's dilemma, but the dilemma faced by many, many Christians in the domain of reformed theology. I submit that for your sincere consideration.
God bless,
TETH
UR Awesome!
It can be proven biblically, regeneration occurs before belief, however it can not be proven it occurs before faith. Conviction from God precedes faith then immediately after regeneration. The conviction and regeneration are the parts of faith that is the gift.
shaka zulu
no that;s all wrong also! where do you people learn such nonsense????
Tony Ajhar
By how many seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months, years? How much time before faith happens is a person regenerated and is this different timing for all people yet always before?
UR Awesome!
Based on my careful study of scriptures and my experience, the first thing that happens after hearing the gospel or thinking about a biblical passage is conviction from God. Look up Strongs 1650 and 1651. Then immediately after is regeneration. Then sorrow, then repentance, then salvation. This all happens very quickly.
“Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)”
Ephesians 2:5 KJV
Marius VanWoerden
This is what Calvin said about faith & Regeneration <<>> Furthermore, commenting on the ministry of John the baptizer, Calvin states: “By inviting them to repentance, he urged them to acknowledge that they were sinners, and in all respects condemned before God, that thus they might be induced earnestly to seek the mortification of the flesh [sinful nature], and a new birth in the Spirit.”12 Calvin insists that this announcement of the kingdom of God being near is a call “for faith,” since, “by the kingdom of God which he declared to be at hand, he meant forgiveness of sins, salvation, life [new life, eternal life], and every other blessing which we obtain in Christ.”13 In other words, FAITH IN CHRIST BRINGS ABOUT ALL THE BLESSING OF CHRIST, INCLUDING REGENERATION: hence faith precedes regeneration. Calvin argues (emphases added): http://evangelicalarminians.org/calvin-on-faith-preceding-regeneration/ I Have and read all the works of Arminius and most of Calvin's of course not his commentaries on the whole Bible. Calvin never wrote commentaries on Revelations. This is a website i made. http://www.maartenluther.com/
Those who think that repentance precedes faith instead of flowing from, or being produced by it, as the fruit by the tree, HAVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD ITS NATURE, AND ARE MOVED TO ADOPT THAT VIEW ON VERY INSUFFICIENT GROUNDS. https://www.ccel.org/ccel/calvin/institutes.v.iv.html Part 510
Justification is a work of God the Father and the Holy Spirit in us and without us. Justification and faith do not have a sequence in time but in order Faith- Justification but are simultaneously in time. Sanctification is a work of The Holy Spirit in us but not without us. Justification and SANCTIFICATION cannot be separated. There is no sanctification without justification or justification without sanctification, this even when sanctification is just a begin of regeneration through all our life. Faith is by Grace and the free gift of God. The Bible teaches us the Justification of the UNGODLY. [Made/ declared Righteous] Not a believer is justified but the UNGODLY BY FAITH.
James 2: 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works [read FRUITS] is dead? Faith First then Fruits of Faith. You can see here that even turning it around since it happened simultaneously is not really a heresy but a misunderstanding. It can be that a person feels that his/her sins are forgiven and being Justified in the site of God and later understand to have put their trust in Christ by faith. However Calvin did not put regeneration before faith. This is the important part: "but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven." it is too bad people teaching others are willing to send them in the wrong direction out of ignorance and unwilling to study.
Kevin Peterson
But Calvinists FALSELY DO > Rc Sproul , Jmac , Voddie B , White , Etc Etc

Calvinist teaching your names are already written in the book of life. That's is why regeneration precede faith.
Regeneration already prepared for the chosen names, before they met faith (Jesus).

@Marius VanWoerden There is a better quote from John Calvin.
"Some understand it thus: "*as by believing we receive the Spirit, who regenerates us in order to justification*, by that very regeneration we obtain salvation." For my own part, though I acknowledge it to be true, that we are renewed by faith, so that the Spirit of Christ governs us, yet I say that we ought first to take into consideration the free forgiveness of sins, through which we are accepted by God."

John Calvin disagrees with you...
""as by believing we receive the Spirit, who regenerates us in order to justification, by that very regeneration we obtain salvation." For my own part, though I acknowledge it to be true, that we are renewed by faith, so that the Spirit of Christ governs us, yet I say that we ought first to take into consideration the free forgiveness of sins, through which we are accepted by God."
