Col 2:12 refutes the Calvinistic claim that regeneration precedes faith.

Refuting Calvinism

Col 2:12 says that being risen with Christ is through faith:

Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

Does being risen with Christ come first, and then enable one to then have saving faith? 

Or does faith come first, then through that faith one becomes risen with Christ?

This verse looks like it is through faith that one is raised with Christ, that being raised with Christ (salvation) is through faith.
