We believe that regeneration is a supernatural work of the Holy
Spirit by which the divine nature and life are given (John 3:3-7;
the power of the Holy Spirit through the Word of God (John
5:24), when the repentant sinner, as enabled by the Holy Spirit,
responds in faith to the divine provision of salvation. Fruits of
repentance, as demonstrated in righteous attitudes and proper
evidence and fruit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Ephesians 2:10), and
will be experienced to the extent that the believer submits to
the control of the Holy Spirit in his life through faithful
obedience to the Word of God (Ephesians 5:17-21; Philippians
2:12b; Colossians 3:16; 2 Peter 1:4-10). This obedience causes
the believer to be increasingly conformed to the image of our
Lord Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). Such conformity is
climaxed in the believer's glorification at Christ's coming
(Romans 8:17; 2 Peter 1:4; 1 John 3:2-3).
