Regeneration/New Birth

We believe that Regeneration/New Birth is solely a New Covenant process that was introduced through the Work of Christ and the sending of the Comforter Who is the Spirit promised by God in the Old Testament. This formally established the New Covenant between God and those reconciled to God. Regeneration is the result of the process whereby God immerses the believer into Himself, thus God indwells on an eternal basis the believer at the time of salvation. According to the promise of Ezekiel 36:24-27 we receive, when we turn to Christ in faith, a new heart, and a new spirit, both of which a result of cleansing we receive as well as the ultimate promise of God...that He would put His Spirit within us and cause us to walk in His statutes and judgments. This is not that we might continue in the Covenant of Law (made obsolete by the New Covenant), but that we might walk in the spirit of the principles which are foundational to the Law, which itself has a foundation of the will of God for Man. We are "new creatures" through our union with God, walking in relationship with and to God, which was not part of our existence prior to conversion. That Regeneration became a possibility only after the coming of Christ, and His death in the stead of the sinner, is made clear in John 1:12-13, for it is then that men received the power to become the sons (children) of God on an eternal basis, contrasted with the physical nature of relationship with and to God in the Old Testament (i.e, relationship through heritage, as was the case for Israel).
