One side has held and taught that a person cannot from his own powers fulfill God's command or truly trust in God, or fear and love Him, without the Holy Spirit's grace. Nevertheless, a person still has enough of his natural powers left before regeneration that he is able to prepare himself to a certain extent for grace adn to agree (although weakly). However, he cannot accomplish anything by these powers, but must give up in the struggle if the Holy Spirit's grace is not added.
Both the ancient and modern enthusiasts have taught that God converts people and leads them to the saving knowledge of Christ through His Spirit, without any created means and instrument; in other words, without the outward preaching and hearing of God's Word. (SD II 3-4)
