Credobaptists (baptizers of believers only) absolutely reject "regenerative baptism" as completely unbiblical, a [[Paganism|pagan]] doctrine of demons, as having utterly no support whatever ''anywhere'' in the scriptures. They understand being "''born again by the word of God''" in 1&nbsp;Peter 1:23 as being born again by actively hearing, understanding and believing the message of the Gospel ([https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+10%3A9-17&version=RSVCE 10:9-17]; [http://biblehub.com/hebrews/10-38.htm Hebrews 10:38]), and consciously responding to the preaching of the Gospel, by having a living, active faith in Christ alone as Lord and Savior—born again by a living conscious faith which does not require any works or sacrament of baptism by water and the Spirit in order to be born again and enter into the kingdom of God—being born again by simply having the free gift of justification unto righteousness imputed by faith, the faith of Abraham ([https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+3%3A21-5%3A2&version=RSVCE Romans 3:21–5:2]; [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+10%3A17&version=RSVCE 10:17]), a conscious faith, the gift of God alone, which is required in order to be able to believe the word of salvation and be saved by faith ([https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+2%3A8-10&version=RSVCE Ephesians 2:8-10]). Righteousness is not imputed to an infant, to one who is passive, who personally does not understand, who has no faith, and does not believe. Credobaptists have no faith that "baptism doth also now save us". Only a personal faith in Christ as Lord.<ref>Compare [http://biblehub.com/1_peter/3-21.htm 1 Peter 3:21].</ref>
