Just remember and never forget
"For we all Must appear Before The Judgment Seat Of Christ;
that every one may receive the things done in his body, according
to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore
the Terror of The LORD, we persuade men; but we are made manifest
unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences"
(II Cor. 5:10-11)

nope truth
regeneration is the impartation of life
Well you are in error trying to impart life apart from Christ
John 5:40 (KJV 1900) — 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
John 3:36 (KJV 1900) — 36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 6:53 (KJV 1900) — 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
John 20:31 (KJV 1900) — 31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

God chooses to grant entrance into his kingdom to whosoever comes clothed in the righteousness of his Son through faith. The biblical condition is faith in Christ—being clothed in his righteousness.
The Gospel called that goes out to everyone to come is most clearly illustrated in Christ’s parable of the wedding banquet recorded in the Gospel of Matthew:
“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to summon those invited to the banquet, but they didn’t want to come. Again, he sent out other servants and said, ‘Tell those who are invited: See, I’ve prepared my dinner; my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
“But they paid no attention and went away, one to his own farm, another to his business, while the rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them. The king was enraged, and he sent out his troops, killed those murderers, and burned down their city.
“Then he told his servants, ‘The banquet is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. Go then to where the roads exit the city and invite everyone you find to the banquet.’ So those servants went out on the roads and gathered everyone they found, both evil and good. The wedding banquet was filled with guests. When the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed for a wedding. So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ The man was speechless.
“Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him up hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ For many are invited, but few are chosen.” (Matt 22:1–14)

I'm glad you noticed that here's what it means:
The main and concluding point of Christ’s parable was “For many are invited, but few are chosen” (v. 14). How were they invited? It was by an unworthy nation of flawed messengers being sent to the good and bad throughout the entire world. Notice that not one of these divine choices is conditioned upon the superior worth or morality of those being chosen.
• The nation was not chosen based on its worth or morality.
• The servants from that nation were not chosen based on their worth or morality.
• The invitations were not sent to people based on their worth or morality.
• Those granted entrance to the banquet were not more worthy or moral.
All these choices are “unconditional” regarding the morality or worth of those chosen, but that in no way proves or even implies those granted entrance to the wedding banquet were chosen without regard to their faith in Christ (i.e., clothed in his garments). Being chosen without regard to one’s own worth or morality is much different than being chosen without regard to one’s trust in the worth and morality of another. Yet the Calvinist systematic approach mistakenly conflates the two as if they were one and the same.
