Credobaptists (believer baptizers) absolutely reject "regenerative baptism" as completely unbiblical, a [[Paganism|pagan]] doctrine of demons, having utterly no support whatever anywhere in the scriptures; and 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 (Hebrews 10:38), and consciously responding, by having a living, active faith in Christ alone as Lord and Savior—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—by simply having the free gift of justification unto righteousness imputed by faith, the faith of Abraham (Romans 3:21–5:2; 10:17), a conscious faith which is required in order to be able to believe the word of salvation and be saved by faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). Righteousness is not imputed to one who is passive, who personally does not understand, who has no faith, and does not believe. Baptism does not "save you now". Only a personal faith in Christ as Lord.<ref>Compare [http://biblehub.com/1_peter/3-21.htm 1 Peter 3:21].</ref>
