We believe ¹that in order to be saved, sinners must be born again; ²that the new birth is a new creation in Christ Jesus; ³that it is instantaneous and not a process; ⁴that in the new birth the one dead in trespasses and sins is made a partaker of the divine nature and received eternal life, the free gift of God; ⁵that the new creation is brought about in a manner above our comprehension, not by culture, not by character, nor by the will of man, but wholly and solely by the power of the Holy Spirit in connection with divine truth, so as to secure our voluntary obedience to the gospel; ⁶that its proper evidence appears in the holy fruits of repentance and faith and newness of life.
