Johan,

God does not change our nature to stop sinning altogether - we still have the remnant of the old man within us until we die (or meet the Lord on His return). Rather, God changes our nature so that we are no longer at enmity with Him, but begin to trust & obey Him.

Children born of believing parents are conceived in sin no less than anyone else, correct? They are in need of regeneration as well. The Spirit can bring about regeneration at any time in the life of the elect - including in the womb, if that be God's will. But we cannot presume that every child born of believing parents is regenerate.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified.
