If you deny the sound doctrine of Creation in six literal days as Scripture repeatedly teaches, you will also deny the sound doctrine of regeneration. It's the same Source, same Ruler, same Creator.
Joh 3:12 "If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how shall you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
How many Evangelicals today do not believe what God says about Creation by His Word in six literal days? Oh, they may prefer that as an opinion, but they do not believe it is an absolute, objective, truth and thus necessary to believe, especially in order to claim the label "Christian". They certainly do not believe it's a sin to reject that sound doctrine or likewise to embrace the demonic, earthly doctrine of evolution. And that's just the problem. Truth is a unit, a body. It cannot be divided or divorced from itself. It's all or nothing. Deny the sound doctrine of Creation and you will deny the sound doctrine of regeneration (today that's in the form of pragmatism, traditions, ecclesiology).
The Spirit gives both physical life and spiritual life.
