Because of sin all are born spiritually dead. In 2007 as soon as I had come out of the desert, heaven opened and I heard a voice from heaven:
“Dear my son Reuben, go to all peoples everywhere and preach the good news about the Kingdom of Heaven. And resurrect the dead.” This is the first resurrection!
Great blessings belong to those who share in this first resurrection: they are God’s people, the second death has no power over them, they will be priests and kings of God Most High in this age.
On the last day, the Day of Judgement, there shall be the second resurrection. And all those who passed through the first resurrection will be chosen to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.
Scriptural ref: Matthew 10:7-8 and Revelation 20:5-6.
Note : For those who don’t pass through the first resurrection, their destiny is death as a final punishment from God. But for those who pass through the first resurrection, their destiny is rest as a reward from God.
Scriptural ref: Genesis 2:1-3; Deuteronomy 12:9; Deuteronomy 33:6; John 11:25-26.
The first birth comes by ‘default’; no one decides about it. But for the second Birth, that is the first resurrection, one has to make a choice: either life (eternal) or death (hell)!
Whenever God chooses His messenger, He gives him power and authority to be A Father in God’s position here on earth. That is A spiritual Father
