THE BAPTISM OF REGENERATION
In this booklet we will learn about the term known as “the
baptism of regeneration,” more widely known in terms of the phrase
“to be born again.”
Strangely enough, although every Christian has
been through this experience, many have no real concept of what
happened to them spiritually when they were saved.
Let’s begin by turning to Titus 3:5 where it states:
TITUS 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we
have done, but according to His mercy He saved us,
through the washing of regeneration, and renewing by
the Holy Spirit
Note particularly the underlined portion of this verse, “the
washing of regeneration, and renewing by the Holy Spirit,” because
this is a key to understanding our “baptism of regeneration.”

As we know, the key to entering God’s Kingdom is to accept Jesus as
Lord and Saviour, according to Romans 10:9-10:
ROMANS 10:9 That if you shall confess with your
mouth the Lord (that He is your Lord), and shall believe
in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead,
you shall be saved.
ROMANS 10:10 For with the heart man believes unto
righteousness (rightstanding with God); and with the
1
mouth confession is made unto salvation (action with
your faith).
ROMANS 10:13 For whosoever (anyone who) shall call
upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (delivered
from the authority of death).
Through this action, we become righteous children of God, and
citizens of the household of God.
It is important, however, to
understand something of the nature of the process by which salvation
takes place - for as we grow in understanding, we can also grow in
faith.
