AC 3550
. . . the truth which a person possesses prior to regeneration
is believed by him to be good itself.
People who have perception know that it is not good
but truth appearing under the form of good;
but those who do not have perception
are not aware of any such difference . . .
AC 3556
. . . good and truths from that good
are re-arranged into proper order in a person
while he is being regenerated.
That is to say, they are re-ordered
so that they appear outwardly,
or make themselves clear on the surface,
as though they were genuine good
and genuine truths from that good.
In actual fact they are not such
but . . . are home-born good and truths from this good,
which serve solely to aid a person's regeneration,
and so to bring in goods and truths of a grosser nature
because such are conducive to his regeneration.
