Yes, but the point of contention is that God chooses a few for salvation, for no known reason, and then must regenerate them, before they can even respond.

The video I posted poses a very good argument as to why regeneration cannot come before faith. And, Dr. Geisler uses Ephesians 2:8 to prove his point.
