Born again? who is a born again christian?

yes to that sense right but just to go a little further... there are many people whom i came across saying they ve accepted Jesus and so they consider themselve as born again believer.. but it disturb me in that, why is it that when they claim to be what they are, why no difference? no fragrance of Christ can i see or in other owrd the same old habits even after being baptized so are they truely born again? and to me born again is not just a tag that we can carry around but it the essence the aroma of Christ in our life that attract others toward God. bearing forth the fruit of the spirit in our life where people can see that transformation.

we cannot somebodys servants God is the final Judge, he stands/falls before Him we can just wait and see.

hey thanks for the response... if you are following through this discusion maybe you may even repond to the topic which i ve started on.. what is church anyway? and i tried responding to this one but if you want some more than feel free and let me know.. would love to add more. thanks

hey thanks for the responding that contribute alot to the discusion.. you can check some of the response i ve given to other guys and respond back if you would like to ...

hey thanks for your feed back, i ve responded to the issue to one of the refering from the book of JOHN, Romans, and Galatians... but ya being born again mean in simple term without going too deep... having the characteristics of Jesus christ and bearing the fruit of the spirit which is given in the book of galtians5. because by claiming that he/she is a born again believer doesn't really make him/her a born again person but it is when that transformation takes place in one's life. and as a result showing forth the mark of Christ in their life and one need not claim that he/she is a born again but it will show forth and people will ultimately see that in them. to me that is born again.

There you go. No one could have said it better. Art

Hey are you new here too? Hehe. Nice to meet you. So far I have nothing to say or ask except about the difference and what born again christians actually do. Other than those things, I have nothing. I guess we have to wait for other people to respond to this discussion. :)

The last few verses of the book of Mark in the New Testament explains what a true believer is and what you will see them doing. Jesus was explaining to the 11 Apostles what to look for that would identify a true believer. In order for people to have the power Jesus described they must be anointed with the Holy Spirit. I consider these as Born again Christians. Also note that Jesus basically said that people that were not true believers would not be saved. Personally I believe there are a lot more true believers out there but they are not using the power of God that is within them. They don't use it for the simple reason they don't know it's there and have not been taught to use it. This is our job as Christian Teachers. We are to teach people concerning the Anointing. Most of that teaching is to be by example. We are supposed to be showing others the power of the Anointing. If we do our job when God Anoints the person then they will know they have this power and how to use it. God has assigned us certain teaching duties and He will not do our jobs for us. If we don't do it then it doesn't get dome. We are not doing it and it is not getting done. Art

Very well said. Being a born again is dying to your old self and becoming a new person. And I agree that change will not happen overnight. It's a process. It may even take us a lifetime to become like Christ. We can't really judge a person unless we have lived their lives. We will surely fall from time to time because we are sinners by nature. But at the end of the day, it's really all about our hearts. After all, it is our hearts that God looks at.
