Doctrine of Regeneration

Doctrine of Regeneration

1. Regeneration is the technical term for the new birth or being born again (John 3:3–7; Titus 3:5; 1 Pet. 1:23).
2. Regeneration occurs at the moment of faith in Christ (John 3:16; 1 Pet. 1:23).
3. Regeneration is the ministry of God the Holy Spirit who creates a human spirit in the believer, making him a new spiritual species (John 3:6; 2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15).
4. The human spirit is the immaterial part of man that enables him to understand spiritual phenomena (1 Cor. 2:14).
5. Regeneration is necessary because man is born spiritually dead (Eph. 2:1; Rom. 5:12).
6. Regeneration is eternal; it cannot be lost (John 10:28–29).
7. Regeneration is the basis for the royal family of God in the Church Age (John 1:12–13).
