Et j'ai vu les morts, petits et grands, debout devant Dieu, et des livres étaient ouverts. Et un autre Livre fut ouvert, qui est le Livre de Vie. Et les morts furent jugés selon leurs œuvres, d'après les choses qui étaient écrites dans les livres

And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books

The moment the Spirit renews/regenerates our human spirit in order to indwell it is the moment we are Born of the Spirit!

For a true “conversion” to take place you will first need to “repent” of your sin(s) having a “change of mind & heart” towards sin which can only be accomplished via the Conviction of Sin (John 16:8-9) etc!!!

The New Birth has to be taught in context with the New Adam who/which is key to making available the New Nature to replace the fallen adam/old nature also called the sin and death nature (because of the Fall of Adam and the consequences/Gen.5:3/Rom.5:12) via Regeneration (Titus 3:5) beginning with the Conviction of Sin etc. (John 16:8-9)

Maybe we should be asking ourselves “Why do we have so many Denominations”??? Different Denominations and their different Interpretations is the root cause of division/divisiveness in the Church! Denominations have their own Interpretations and Opinions regarding the Holy Bible! The Holy Spirit is not the Author of all of this!

There are many things the “believer” can do with the Word of God but the primary responsibility towards the Word of God is to do what it takes in order to “believe/become convinced of” it!

I would say that there is no such thing as a “Principal Theme” when it comes to the Bible but if I had to pick one main Theme out of many I would have to say it’s “Redemption” or “Man’s Redemption” also called “God’s Plan of Redemption/Reversal/Riddance” which includes the New Creation!
