64. Who is he who is born of the Spirit, and is made Spirit, but he who is renewed in the Spirit of his mind? Eph. iv. 23. This certainly is he who is regenerated by water and the Holy Spirit, since we receive the hope of eternal life through the laver of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit. Tit. iii. 5. And elsewhere the Apostle Peter says: “Ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Acts xi. 16. For who is he that is baptized with the Holy Spirit but he who is born again through water and the Holy Spirit? Therefore the Lord said of the Holy Spirit, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again by water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. And therefore He declared that we are born of Him in the latter case, through Whom He said that we were born in the former. This is the sentence of the Lord; I rest on what is written, not on argument.
