Galatians 4:29 "But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now"

Is there any indication that Isaac's spiritual birth was qualitatively different then ours? Not according to Paul's explanation above. (cf. Galatians 5:17) Furthermore this statement is dependent on Galatians 3 where Paul argues that Isaac's father Abraham is the forefather of our faith.

Same birth, same faith.
