"The guy in Romans 7 is a pre-New Covenant Pentecost
era brother. He's regenerate and loves the law but he
is powerless to walk in it as he would desire, at
least not until the event that defines Romans 8 comes
along."
I have read recently of a group that believes that
Saul was a pre-New Covenant Pentecost era brother who
was regenerate and loved the law when he met Jesus on
the road to Damascus ("the event that defines Romans
8").
