It is a human construct of Calvinism. That basically states a person is a dead body and can not on their own believe in Jesus for God's free gift of Eternal Life. God must first make that person alive, by making the person born again and then they can believe in Jesus.
So they say a person is born again and then believes.
A person, according to Calvinism is born again, so they can believe in Jesus (or whatever they say), so they can be born again. But it does not end there, because they then say, if the person does not preserve in the faith the person was never born again and was not a true believer
I do not believe in the Calvinist theology at all. i believe even though a sinner, God has given every person the ability to exercise belief and that God does not give a person a special belief so a person can believe in Jesus for Eternal Life.
That is the reason for The Bible, so as to witness to fallen man. That God's free gift of Eternal life is received by belief in Jesus.
