Quit spamming the Word of God for it is disgusting and disrespectful to God, also man can't do anything to be born of God. Did you have a choice to be born of man? No
To say that quoting God's Word in answer to your objection is spamming is what is disgusting and disrespectful to God and His Word. Since you cannot refute God's Word, you have reverted to attacking the messenger of God's Word.
What you are doing is peddling your opinions off as God's Truth, and then discounting any Scriptures that refute you as spamming. That is shameful.

Being {{{
Born Again}}} is to be {{{
Regenerate}}} or {{{
Made Alive}}} or to possess the {{{
Light of Life}}} by the
indwelling Spirit, and is
only By Faith.
Regeneration, which is to
pass from
death to
life (
2 Corinthians 1:9-10), is
by faith:
John 5:24 (WEB) “Most certainly I tell you, he who hears {{listens to}} my word and
believes him who sent me
has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has
passed out of death into life [
regeneration].
Regeneration is the
light of life (
Ephesians 5:8)
by faith evidenced by
following Lord Jesus:
John 8:12 (WEB) “I am the light of the world. [Isaiah 60:1] He who
follows me will
not walk in the darkness, but will have the {{
light of life}}.” [
The light of life is regeneration and is God’s Work in those who follow Lord Jesus.]
Regeneration is associated with being Children of God. We are
children of God by faith:
Galatians 3:26 (WEB) For you are all children of God, {{
through faith}} in Christ Jesus.
Regeneration is to receive God’s Spirit AFTER a person believes and becomes a child of God:
Galatians 4:6 (WEB) And
because you are children, God sent out
the Spirit of his Son
into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”
Regeneration - Spiritual Life - is by the Spirit of Christ
dwelling IN US:
Romans 8:10-11 (WEB) 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit,
if it is so that
the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the {
Spirit of Christ}, he is not his. 10 If Christ is
IN YOU, the body is dead because of sin, but the
spirit is alive [
regeneration] because of righteousness.
Regeneration is Life by the Spirit of Christ
dwelling in us (
Romans 8:10-11) - AND the Spirit only
indwells us to give us life
by faith. Faith is demonstrated by
following and
obeying Lord Jesus.
John 14:15-16 (WEB) 15
If you love me, keep my commandments. 16 I will pray to the Father, and
he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever: 17
the Spirit of truth
John 14:23 (WEB) 23 Jesus answered him, “
If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and
we will come to him, and
make our home with him.
Acts 5:32 (WEB) 32 We are his witnesses of these things; and so also is the
Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those
who obey him.
Regeneration: is to “
Make Alive (
Ephesians 2:1),” and is
The Promise to those
who believe:
Galatians 3:22 (WEB) 21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could
Make Alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law. 22 But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, so that the
promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given
to those who believe.
Regeneration is being “
Raised with Christ” (
Ephesians 2:6), and is by Faith in God’s Work
Colossians 2:12 (WEB) you were also
raised with him
through faith in the working of God
Regeneration is a
new birth, (
John 3:8) is
by faith (
John 3:14-16;
John 7:37-39),
sowing to the Spirit.
Galatians 6:7-9 (WEB)
Writing to the Church in Galatia 7 {
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked}. A man
reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows [
present and continuous sowing] to please their flesh, from the flesh will
reap destruction; whoever sows [
present and continuous sowing] to please the Spirit,
from the Spirit will
reap ETERNAL LIFE [
regeneration]. 9
Let us [
believers] not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will {{
reap}} a harvest if
we [
believers]
do not give up!
Regeneration is
by the indwelling Spirit of the believer who
puts to death the fleshly master by the Spirit indwelling him by faith. The Spirit
leads to life the believer who
follows the Spirit - living and walking by the Spirit.
Romans 8:12-14 (NIV) 12 Therefore,
brothers and
sisters,
we have
an obligation — but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.13 For
if you live according to the flesh,
you will die; but
if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,
you will live. 14 For those who are
led by the Spirit of God are the
children of God.
Galatians 5:25 (WEB) 25 If
we live by the Spirit,
let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
The fact is that many who are dead in sin sincerely seek to enter onto life (
Luke 13:23-25) but are not willing to
count the cost, which is everything (
Luke 14:26-33; Matthew 13:44-45). They may “believe in Jesus,” but they cannot put their faith in Jesus as their Lord because they refuse to repent and sanctify their hearts and lives to God from the fleshly idols they presently serve.
Luke 9:23-25 (WEB) 23 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him
deny himself, take up his cross daily and
follow me. 24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake,
will save it. 25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
