The New Birth is not external. Salvation is not mental. Salvation is of the heart, and when man comes with the heart and accepts Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, he's born again. He's changed. He becomes a new creature in Christ Jesus. That's the exciting thing about the new birth.

The scripture 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things become new." Not he thinks he is, not maybe he is, but he is a new creature. That literally means a new species of being that has never existed before. When you're born again, old things are passed away.
