This person is dead until the LIFE of CHRIST is in him.
"Life of Christ" meaning saved?

i hated it when God insisted i "yawp!"
but He knew i must,
and that my life would not begin,
until i yawped.
We all must learn to yawp.
we MUST awaken the passion,
that part of us that feels intensely,
and is NOT afraid to say so
or to express it.
Otherwise we are just dead men walking.

So, can a spiritually dead person really choose Christ? Can a physically dead person choose anything whilst dead?

I agree with everything on that SoF, but don't really claim the name Fundamentalist. FWIW, I hold a position that regeneration is by God's grace alone, yet that grace is resistible. IOW, we cannot choose to be saved, but we can choose to fall away.
I'm going to have to agree with CD. I too am in in agreement with the SoF but don't claim to be a fundamentalist (if for no other reason, people don't seem to buy an "emerging church" Pentecostal as a fundy ). I'm also Lutheran on soteriology. Even though that isn't my church, Martin Luther is one of my valued teachers.
