I have no idea what you talking about you are in a totally different religion than I am!
I don't reject the evangelism.

You reject qospel, that is a indicator that you are not regenerate!
You wouldn't have an indicator that could make the judgement.

Because I live ye shall live also !2
The Promise of Psalm 110:3
3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
Whenever we see the word shall as it pertains to Divine Things it generally will mean predestination, something shall be because God predetermined it to be, and that is a sure foundation ! This promise looks to regeneration, for after we are regenerated or born anew by the Spirit we seek to please God and obey His statues Ezk 36:26-27
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Thats being made willing in the Day of His Power !
I will put my Spirit within you ! And what does the Spirit do ? Jn 6:63
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
The Spirit He puts within us quickeneth us, the word zōopoieō means :
I.to produce alive, begat or bear living young
II.to cause to live, make alive, give life
A.by spiritual power to arouse and invigorate
to excite or activate, to fill with energy, strength, or vigor.
The Spirit activates us unto Living and obeying God, to submit to God !
By Nature we are at enmity with God and will not be subject to Him Rom 8:7
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Notice 3 things here about the carnal mind we all have by nature :
1. It is enmity against God !
2. It is not subject to the Law of God, so therefore it is not subject to God !
3. Neither can it be subject to God, it does not even have the ability to be !
man by nature opposes God and rebels against Him . So the Resurrected Christ provides for that enmity and rebellion by regeneration, the Gift of the Spirit, and so we read Ps 68:18
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.
Yeah for the rebellious ! That word means:
I.to rebel, be stubborn, be rebellious, be refractory,
Those fallen away, those who refuse to submit !
Well the Risen and ascended Christ gives gifts for that in order that God may dwell among them, and they become His Temple ! 2 Cor 6:16
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Christ subdues God's People unto Him, so that they shall Live unto God Rom 6:10-11
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Because He lives and is alive to God, so shall them He died and arose again, shall liveth unto God, through Him !
They shall be Born Again, Guaranteed !

Why we must be born again !
Jesus said to one that would belive on Him these words Jn 3:4-7
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
The word Ye here is in the singular, for Jesus is specifically speaking of Nicodemus, who would later believe on Him as the record indicates Jn 19:38-40
38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
Jesus said to him Ye must be born again ! The word must is the greek word dei and means:
I.it is necessary, there is need of, it behooves, is right and proper
A.necessity lying in the nature of the case
And that necessity in the nature of the case is that all men, but in particular the Elect of God are without it [being born again] are in a state of spiritual death, along with the non elect vessels of wrath, they are dead in sin Eph 2:1,5
And you[plural] hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)
The word dead here in Vs 5 and vs 1 is the greek word nekros and means:
II.metaph.
A.spiritually dead
i.destitute of a life that recognises and is devoted to God, because given up to trespasses and sins
ii.inactive as respects doing right
B.destitute of force or power, inactive, inoperative
This is the case of the Elect of God by nature that necessitates their need to be born again,
Luke 15:24
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Matt 8:22
But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
Its Illustrated what the Elect are by nature as dead here Ezk 37:2-4
The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live[from death]? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.
4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Without the breath of God in them, we are as dead man bones without Life and movement towards God.
We dont Live until breath is put into us, the breath is the Spirit of God in New Birth
That word breath in Ezk 37:5-6 also can be translated wind, which points to Jesus words here as it pertained to being born again Jn 3:7-8
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Thus the necessity of being Born Again in order to become Believers and followers of Jesus Christ, because of the elects dead spiritual state by nature !

Why we must be born again ! 2
Regeneration / New Birth is essential if we are ever to believe the True Gospel or Believe upon the True Christ from or with the Heart as Per Rom 10:10
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Now the Heart here does not mean that bodily organ that pumps blood throughout the physical body, it means :
But now by nature, the unregenerate to include the Elect of God do have a heart of stone Ezk 36:26
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
In fact, the very words " I will give you an heart of flesh." is synonymous with New Birth or Regeneration,
Also the heart of the Elect by nature as well as the non elect is uncircumcised Acts 7:51
51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
But in regeneration we receive this Rom 2:29
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Thats what is meant in Ezk 36:26
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
By nature the heart is blinded and the understanding darkened Eph 4:18
Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
The word blindness here is the greek word pōrōsis:
I.the covering with a callus
II.obtrusiveness of mental discernment, dulled perception
III.the mind of one has been blunted
A.of stubbornness, obduracy
B.to grow hard, callous, become dull, lose the power of understanding
And in order to properly believe with the heart there must be a degree of understanding spiritually Jn 12:40
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
Matt 13:19,23
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
This means the person received the seed of the word into good ground and understandeth it, it means they had been given an heart of flesh Ezk 36:26 in New Birth, a Circumcised Heart, else they could not have believed the Word of God !
Regeneration / New Birth is essential if we are ever to believe the True Gospel or Believe upon the True Christ from or with the Heart as Per Rom 10:10

Why we must be born again ! 3
Why we must be born again ! 3
The best the natural man can do without a new heart given in New Birth is to become a superficial believer, he may attain to a natural reception pf the Kingdom Truths of the Gospel of God's Grace in Christ as is pointed out here by the Lord Matt 13:20-21
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Now this shows that the unregenerated heart can receive the Gospel Truth in some manner, perhaps merely intellectually, yet notice that it does not take root in their heart, and sooner or later they stumble at it and become offended ! Luke states it that they shall fall away Lk 8:13
13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
They believe only temporary is the awful indictment against them, then they must fall away in testing.
Now the word for fall away is aphistēmi and means:
They do what John writes of here in His Epistle 1 Jn 2:19
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
In fact the word is the very same Paul uses here 1 Tim 4:1
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith of the Gospel, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Thats evidence of them having been stony heart hearers who later fall away like Jesus stated ! Its also evidence that they never had a regenerate heart, but they still have the heart of stone Ezk 36:26
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
So the stony heart here is the same as the Matt 13:20-21
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Yes they can receive it, but only to fall away from it, neither did they truly understand it, because they are contrasted with those who did receive it, but they understood it and bare fruit Matt 13:23
23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Please note, it was never stated that the stony ground hearer understood it !
And Understanding the Word with the heart is vital to conversion Jn 12:39-40
39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
Thats the indictment against the unregenerate heart in its inability to believe the Gospel, it may believe it superficially, but thats about it !
Thats why its essential for the Elect to be born again to believe the Gospel !

What is the New Birth ?
First of all it should be made clear that the New Birth is the answer [response] to the effects of Christ's Meritorious Death ! Its Merits, the Merits of His Blood is the Meritorious Cause of why is effected !
The New Birth is the Impartation of Spiritual Life inwardly See Ezk 11:9;36:26 into all for whom He died, and as a result abolishing death for them 2 Tim 1:10, and since this is True, to them He abolished for, He becomes a Quickening/ Life Giving Spirit which results in the New Birth ! Jn 5:21
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth or gives life to whom he will.
And the Spirit is the Instrumental means by which He quickens Jn 6:63
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth or gives life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Now for all whom He died, He abolished death for them, which as a result and motive, He gives life from the dead, which is a confirmation that for them He has abolished their death !

Amen! All the Chosen Elect of God Eph. 1:4-5, Christ's Sheep,
were in Union with Him before the foundation, and they were also
raised with Christ when He was raised from the dead Col. 2:13; Heb. 13:20.
He abolished Spiritual Death for them, and because as their Head,
He Lives John 14:19 KJV, they shall also, which means to be regenerated,
made Spiritually Alive Col. 1:18 by the Power of the Holy Spirit 1 Pet. 1:3; Ps. 110:3 KJV!

Amen, because He was their Surety when He died, His rising from the dead was also as their Surety, and as their Surety Head, He gives Life to the them, a Spiritual Resurrection from Spiritual Death, as Death could not hold Him in Death, it cannot hold those He died for in death, spiritual or otherwise !
