2 Parts of the New Birth

"That the new birth comprises the entire change necessary to fit us for
the king
dom of God, and consists of two parts
First, a moral change wrought by conversion and a Christian life (John 5:3
second, a physical change at the second coming of Christ, whereby, if dead, we are raised incorruptible, and if living, are changed to immortality in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.  
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.  Luke 20, 36; 1 Cor. 15:51, 52." Uriah Smith
