...the Holy Spirit? regeneration : from the greek palingenesia : to go back to genesis or by implication to that NATURE which God created in Adam when he was first created (his genesis) Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. BODY SOUL AND HUMAN SPIRIT, this is our "nature" as God created us. A unregenerate man is reprobate and his spirit is " dead in trespasses and sins" cut off from god by sin he is called spiritually dead, where as we are "quickened and made spiritually alive by regeneration the "rebirth" of our human spirit BY the Holy Spirit: Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. The fact is that the INDWELLING of the Holy Spirit is NOT the rebirth of the human spirit, and that neither of these concepts is "salvation" proper ... is evidently manifest because salvation is about being saved from hell to heaven with God for eternity. When Adam sinned he died spiritual ( cut off) to god and regeneration is a literal rebirth of the human spirit. Hence: RE generation: Strong's concordance defined this term as spiritual renovation or rebirth : literally or figuratively. SO< why ARE so many christians unable to rightly divide these concepts?
