you cannot be new before crucifixion an old self
the same Paul said precisely many times
undress old one and then dress new one on which will be created by birth
new heart and new spirit
before stone heart and old spirit should be removed
mind is not spirit - but through the mind everything starts

You seem to be having a problem recognizing that what you see Is not the real you and what you cannot see Is the real you or what the difference Is In being born again and renewing the mind Is.
The body of flesh that you see Is not the real you.
Before JESUS was crucified,they were not reborn but after he went to Hades and preached to those that believe HE set the old testament believers free.
