Hi Humblejoe,
But how can we be sure he was regenerated? Matthew 3:14 says that John the baptist need a baptism from Jesus. And we know that the spirit of God even came upon Saul and he prophesied (1 Samuel 19:20)
So what's to say that he was regenerated while still in the womb? Then again I think I might be pushing into another issue.

For instance, Scripture states that John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit while still in the womb; John was regenerated/converted before birth. So, I suppose, God can regenerate a person before or even without their acknowledgement of their own Election.
