VII. Of Grace in Regeneration ᎦᏴᏓᏗᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏕᎯᏌᏅᎯ ᏱᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅ
We believe that in order to be saved, sinners must be regenerated, or born again; that
regeneration consists in giving a holy disposition to the mind; that it is effected in a
manner above our comprehension by the power of the Holy Spirit, in connection with
divine truth, so as to secure our voluntary obedience to the gospel; and that its proper
evidence appears in the holy fruits of repentance and faith and newness of life
