[
His dwelling within us is what makes us born-again. It is impossible to truly know salvation or believe in Christ until and unless indwelt by the Holy Spirit. How say you then that we must be born again first, yet not being able to know the things of God and salvation until born-again.
Read the following verses, please.
[1Co 2:12-14 KJV]
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.
[Jhn 6:45 KJV]
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
[Luk 1:77 KJV]
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
Eph 1:13
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,--
Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

IF you want to do a deeper study brother-
Eph 1:13 In Moshiach you also, having heard the message of HaEmes, the Besuras HaGeulah of Yeshu'at Eloheinu which is yours, having also come to emunah, received your chotam (seal) in Moshiach with the Ruach Hakodesh of havtachah (promise),
Eph 1:14 Who is bestowed as an eravon (pledge) of our nachalah (allotted inheritance, TEHILLIM 16:5-6), with a view to the Geulah of Hashem's own possession, to the tehilat kavod (praise of glory) of Him.
(14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance.—On the word “earnest” (arrhabôn), a precious gift, as surety for a fuller gift hereafter, see 2Co_1:22.
The word “inheritance” has a correspondent meaning. It is a present possession (as in Act_7:5), which shall be developed into a more precious future. “We are very members, incorporate in the mystical body of Christ, and also heirs through hope of His everlasting kingdom.”
Until the redemption of the purchased possession.—The “redemption” here is the complete and final salvation from sin and death (as in Rom_8:23). The original word here rendered “purchased possession” properly means “the act of purchase or acquisition,” and is so used in 1Th_5:9; 2Th_2:14; Heb_10:39. But
it seems clear that it is here used (in the sense of our version) with that confusion of idea, common in English, though rare in Greek, under which the result of an action is understood instead of the action itself, so that the word “purchases” is used for “things purchased,” “acquisitions” for “things acquired” and the like. The transition is marked in relation to this same word in Mal_3:17; 1Pe_2:9, where the Israelites are spoken of as “a people for acquisition,” that is, as a people acquired or purchased.
