Ka të krishterë, who wonder if they are born again and have become a son of God (this applies to both males and females). They doubt their salvation and wonder if they have received the baptism with the Holy Spirit. How do you know if you are born again and have become a son of God? What are the characteristics of a son of God according to the Bible?
A change of kingdom
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: In Whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins (kolosianëve 1:12-14)
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (romakët 8:2)
Kur të pendoheni, by faith in Jesus Christ and His work of salvation and be baptized in water and receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit, you are born again and have become a son of God.

Through regeneration you have become a new creation; a new man and your nature has changed.

Ja, çfarë lloj dashurie na ka dhuruar Ati, që ne të quhemi bij të Perëndisë: therefore the world knoweth us not, sepse nuk e njihte Atë (1 Gjoni 3:1)
The nature of the father of fallen man (djalli) has died with your flesh. Through the resurrection of the spirit from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit, the nature of the Father of the new man (Zoti) came to life.
Once you have received the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit abides in you. Therefore you don’t have to call upon the Holy Spirit and invite Him over and over again. Because once the Holy Spirit comes in you, He will abide in you and be forever with you (Oh. Gjoni 14:17).
At least, as long as you decide to stay in Christ, live after God’s will and not depart from Christ. How do you depart from Christ? By walking after the will of the flesh, in which the devil reigns, and living like the world.
God replaces the heart of stone by a heart of flesh
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: That they may walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be My people, and I will be their God (Ezekieli 11:19-20)

Through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the Law of God, which represents His will, is written in your new heart.
The Holy Spirit represents, ashtu si Jezusi, the will of the Father and His righteousness and holiness. He reproves the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment.

Ai ishte një vrasës që në fillim, dhe nuk qëndron në të vërtetën, sepse nuk ka asnjë të vërtetë në të. Kur ai flet një gënjeshtër, ai flet nga vetja e tij: sepse ai është gënjeshtar, dhe babai i saj. Dhe sepse unë ju them të vërtetën, ju nuk më besoni Mua. Which of you convinceth Me of sin? Dhe nëse them të vërtetën, pse nuk më besoni mua? He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God (Gjoni 8:43-47)

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (romakët 8:3-4)
