Regeneration

Before we begin, let's clarify a few terms. Regeneration simply means born again. However, it is not born again in the way that the modern-day evangelist would use it. Instead, it refers to how the Holy Spirit comes and inhabits the very essence of who we are and it as if we no longer lived; but as a lifestyle, Jesus lives within us, for it is written, "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me" (Galatians 2:20, NASB).
As we closely look into scriptures, regeneration is neccessary for the salvation of souls. For it says, "Jesus answered and said to him, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God'" (John 3:3, NASB). Most people in the church believe at the very least superficially and and the very most whole-heartedly that one must be born again to be saved. However, with the pravelence of being born again without any change and without any struggle to change w/no avail, it shows that there is hardly any regeneration going on in what I would call cultural Christianity, and why should there, when Christianity is counter-cultural?
Now, if you are like Paul, in which he states that he does the very things he hates (Romans 7:15, NASB.), then you are more than likely saved as you do have a regenerated heart and it shows. However, stastically, 84% of America claims to be Christian. However, Christianity has less influence than ever before on lives. Why is that, one might ask? It is because the doctrine of Regeneration was watered down and we have people who live like devils and claim they're Christian.
Galatians 5:22-23 mentions that the fruits of the Holy Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. However, an important part is what precedes this in Galatians 5:19-21 talking about the deeds of the flesh, and what succeeds in the later part of Galatians 5:23, which state against such things {the fruits of the Spirit}, there is no law. The deeds of the flesh are as follows: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, stife, jealously, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissentations, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing and things like these. While it is human nature to pursue the deeds of the flesh (especially with the outbursts of anger), it is vital that we have the fruit of the Spirit in our lives and not just putting on a facade, because that is eventually not possible. While faith is the sole way for salvation, regeneration is the indicator.
