I admit to be somewhat confused about the whole matter of "born again" - I have read a few different views on it - and wanted to ask if this view (from Leanne Payne's book The Healing Presence) is in harmony with reformed theology:

Some people say when Jesus says "ye must be born again" he is telling us to do something?
"Christ in us and we in Him: this is the concrete reality. God was incarnate of the virgin Mary by the Spirit of Christ; man is indwelt, in-gifted, in-graced, in-godded. This is why our ecleticism (so prevalent in the Church today, as many non-christian ideas flood in) will not work. Herein is the (dreadful to some) exclusiveness of the Christian truth and reality that we are to proclaim. There is no possibility for eclecticism in it. In the Presence, unless they will to remain separate, men are born anew. Moslems, Hindus, Hebrews who walk into the Presence and power of the Holy Spirit are quickly remade. They become Christians."
Its the phrase "...unless they will to remain separate..." is that compatible with monergistic regeneration?
