No - you have turned the Scriptures upside down! The Bible teaches when we respond to the Gospel, when we receive Christ, when we believe - THEN He regenerates us.
No it doesnt, it teaches regeneration before faith..a dead man cannot believe, faith is a fruit of the Spirit of God..

Gal 5:

22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,


Ephesians 1:13-14 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

The key is they heard the word of truth, a spiritually dead person cannot hear christ words..

jn 8:

43Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

One has to be spiritually alive to hear a spiritual message, so your point is invalid..
