This is for your benefit and convenience! I hope this helps!
Let us examine your claim! “one must have faith to receive spiritual”
First let’s specify what “spiritual” we are looking for???
We are specifically looking for “regeneration”!
More specifically pneumatikos!
G4152 (Strong)
πνευματικός
pneumatikos
phyoo-mat-ik-os'
From G4151; non-carnal, that is, (humanly) ethereal (as opposed to gross), or (daemoniacally) a spirit (concretely), or (divinely) supernatural, regenerate, religious: - spiritual. Compare G5591.
Your claim is faith precedes regeneration!
More specifically your claim is faith precedes pneumatikos (i.e. regeneration)
Now let us examine your claim of “as those verses show” faith precedes pneumatikos...
Where is pneumatikos??? Not found here! Failed!
Duh you just ignored the fact regeneration is new life
Where is pneumatikos??? Not found here! Failed!
again you ignored regeneration is new life
Where is pneumatikos??? Not found here! Failed!
Still ignoring the definition of rgeneration
Where is pneumatikos??? It’s not “as those verses show”!
Failed!
once again you ignore what regeneration is
Succinctly stated, to regenerate means “to impart life.” Regeneration is the act whereby God imparts
life to the one who believes. Moody handbook of theology
For human beings, regeneration is the answer to the corruption of moral character caused by sin. It is essential for participation in the kingdom of God (John 3:3). At conversion, God grants the believer new life and a new identity in Christ. Regeneration Lexham Survey Theology

At the present time it is used in a far more restricted sense, to denote the divine act by which the sinner is endowed with new spiritual life, and by which the principle of that new life is first called into action.
