Jesus said..... "3Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
What percentage of people do you think are truly "born again" and will be with the Lord when they die?

You mean of people who profess to be Christians? That's a tough one, but I would say less than fifty percent since polls show that many people who identify themselves as Christians don't lead lives that are significantly different from the people around them and Jesus went on to say...
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.' Matthew 7:21-23
Just substitute "went to church" or something like that for things like "cast out demons" and notice that Jesus said that "many" would say to Him on that day of judgment.

Probably about 0.0002 percent (or less). And most of those probably wont be those people who call themselves christians.
Everyone else will have to come back and try again, on this planet or another.
In order to understand the reason for this, one must ask: "How many people truly follow the way demonstrated by Jesus of Nasereth, at the cost of thier life, of everything they have and know, and believe themselves to be; And how many people simply accept a certain religion with Jesus's name upon it, who accept the answers given to them by people who probably know no better than themselves, because they have not themselves tread the Way?"

it is very simple.
Not many people can see the gate to eternal life because it involves the most pure heart the most loving soul the most advanced human mind... the way to death is all around you and every where you look in the physical world. The way to life is hidden in knowledge of the truth... what is the truth, do you want to know it or just believe in it?
0% at the moment, I have meet not one.
