One question at the moment for you. What role (if any) according to the Bible, did each person play in becoming born again?
Being born again of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God.

What role did you play when you are firstborn of the flesh? None, because you did not give birth to yourself.

It is the same with being born again of the Holy Spirit.

Agreed. I just asked because some who hold to the doctrine of election also believe that man's faith played a role in the initiation of his salvation. That would be like giving Lazarus a command and expecting him to obey it before he was given life, while he was dead in his tomb.
