Regeneration (New Birth)

Born again from above — the Spirit kindles a new spiritual life that no one can give themselves

Regeneration, or the new birth, is the inner renewal in which the Holy Spirit gives a person new spiritual life. Jesus speaks of being "born from above" in John 3, and Titus 3:5 links salvation to a "washing of regeneration." Traditions agree that this rebirth is God's gift, but they differ on its tie to baptism: some hold to baptismal regeneration, while others locate the new birth in faith or conversion.
