I am an ordinary man, a sinner but one day I accepted Jesus as my Savior and got born again. Born again Christian is not a religion as what others believe. It is a person who accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior dead to sin and rose again as a new being. For the bible says "Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God" Born again person is not a perfect person. He still commits mistakes and sin. But what is important is he must repent and ask forgiveness. He must ask God for a help and do his best to change his heart and attitude. Our good deeds cannot make us go to heaven but it is through Jesus for Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except by Him. There is no person here on earth, a prophet or a saint can help us to go to heaven but it's only Jesus.
However, I respect others belief and religion.

Hi there Dentabz!
As what the Bible said in Romans 3:23, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." I think people could make different interpretations of the phrase "born again" but like you, I know that being a "born again Christian" means being renewed, one who was cleansed of his sins that Jesus Christ did when He was crucified. The greatest sacrifice ever made. I also respect others' beliefs, religion and faith. I will never force someone to believe in what I believe in nor I would say that what they believe in is wrong. I think it's all a matter of respect and acceptance.

I am glad for you that you have found truth in your eyes even if the whole god things doesn't work for me. I am happy that it works for you. I hope that it helps you become a better person. I draw my personal beliefs from multiple beliefs systems mostly from east asia and the native americans. I believe that they are truthful in there stories and have a deep conection with the universe. But that is just me.
I am glad that this hasn't be come a I am going to attack other beliefs and that you at least say that you respect others beliefs even if they don't fit your which is nice.
Oh and to respond to your whole born again Christians having it be talk about like it is a separate religion is mostly do to some being extremely aggressive to non believers I have had my run in with a few of these people and it really puts a bad taste in my mouth because they have been blinded by there new belief in Jesus and God. They often times spin lies out of there mouths about Science and the Big Bang Theory which gets me going because I don't see how you can mess these things up since they do teach these things in school. Oh and they also generally go if you don't believe long list X then you are going to hell. They also hold themselves like they are the best thing to ever walk the earth. Not saying you are but that is just the common belief that is out there about people who identify as born again Christan.
I recognize that it is a stereotype that is out there and that I shouldn't judge you for Identifying that way it is just what my gut reaction is and what my friends have told me about "born again" Christians.

I agree you that Jesus is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE. We can go to heaven through Him for He is the WAY. The TRUTH is we can't go to His Way by good deeds only but by following His words and commandments on how to enter Him to enjoy the everlasting LIFE. We must try to continue searching on How to gain everlasting LIFE which supported by the verses of the Bible.

First of all what makes you sure that there IS a Father and/or a heaven.
Secondly. You can be born again not only to Christianity, but to the Kabbala, or by some Indian guru.
I had a similar experience to being born again when I STOPPED believing that there was a "God". A very cleansing and uplifting moment.

It hardly matters who you are. The most important thing is that you believe in Jesus and recognize that He is the Way, the truth and life. Another important thing is that you respect others belief and their religion.

Yes, I believe you. I just remembered last night about what my friends said about born again christian, why they are called as such and why should they be born again. at that time I didn't say anything because I didnt know what to say, and they seemed angry. They shouldn't have said that because they didn't know anything, even about what they bible says.
