I have no desire to diminish you, but your position WRT our bodies is in total conflict with the scriptures.
Our bodies must change because this physical world is to be destroyed, and we need a body that can live in the realm of God. Paul made this abundantly clear in 1Cor 15, as did Yeshua in his very technical discussion with Nicodemus.
Paul made it clear also that this change cannot be made until the last trump, when Yeshua shows up in the cloud with his angels to gather his elect. Obviously those that have pre-deceased us no longer have Earthly flesh and blood bodies anyway, so the need for the incorruptible body is to be understood.
None of this has anything to do with the indwelling of the comforter; it is simply a life issue for our future dwelling place.
Only on your end.

Which is not in contention.

Nor is this disputed.

The issue is that, as said and shown, being born from above is that of being born of the Spirit, and which is being born of God and into the kingdom. And this birth is necessary to see the kingdom of God, as without the the Spirit one does not belong to Christ, while the Spirit is the pledge of the resurrection and what is to come.
The Scriptures tell believers they already have been born of the Spirit/of God by the word of God and unto living hope, while the resurrection is not described as a birth, but a change.
Thanks be to God.
Its not complicated./p>
