Regeneration
Spirit baptism – being placed into the Body of Christ- is not the only major thing that happens when you are saved. The Holy Spirit also regenerates you. Regeneration happened in your spirit when the Holy Spirit gave you life.
Humans are tri-part creatures. We have a physical body, a soul, and a spirit, 1 Thessalonians 5:23.
The spirit is the part of us that has the ability to understand, 1 Corinthians 2:11 “For what man intuitively knows the things of a man expect the spirit of the man in him?” Intuitive knowledge is the type of knowledge that is referred to as head knowledge.
The soul is our emotional part and the physical body is the part that we use to express the immaterial parts.
Regeneration happens in the spirit. When we expressed faith at Christ through gospel for salvation, the Holy Spirit placed us into the Body of Christ, and regenerated us, Titus 3:5 “He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.”A Christian's spirit is joined with God’s spirit and the Godhead indwells him or her, 1 Corinthians 6:17. “but the one joined with the Lord is one spirit.” We are now the temple of God. “Don’t you know that you are the holy of holies of God and the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16.
