well that would mean that the first time you really were not born again. Born again is when Gods spirit is given to you. he does not take it back once he gives it. Its important not to base your faith on feelings. feelings come and go but the spirit of our Lord once given is forever..:)

No. Many people will have an experience where they gain a head knowledge of their need for Jesus Christ and may go through the motions of accepting him as Savior, baptism, etc., but years later actually have a heart conviction from the Holy Spirit of their need not only to have the head knowledge of Jesus Christ but to have a heart-fulfilling desire for Christ to be Lord in their lives - once they have this - they no longer find themselves in doubt or questioning - they know beyond a shadow of a doubt, they are saved by the grace of an Almighty God - they still sin, but the conviction of that sin is so instamatic that they seek forgiveness immediately. That is why it is often said the difference between the thought saved and the truly saved is the distance between the mind and the heart.

If you are not born again you will be lost.
Jesus said, " ye must be born again "
Jesus does ( not ) require his born again children to murder in cold blood those that refuse his doctrine, as Islam requires it.
Islam is a murdering class of people always has been always will be. Jesus goes so far as to command his people not to shed innocent blood. On the other hand Islam commands the shedding of innocent blood.
Americans are foolish to believe Islam is anything but what it is.

I'm born again every time I blink my eyes. I don't believe in any religion, but do see everything that's happening now as being sacred. This includes the terrible stuff as well as the beauty, grace and absurdity of it all.
Of course, I was disadvantaged in not having pedophiiac priests to tell me what to believe.

There are a lot of pro and con ideas concerning this subject...The Bible talks about "being cut off of the olive tree and being grafted back in" Also, "he that endureth to the end the same shall be saved" Could this be another way of putting it " he that does not endureth to the end shall not be saved?" The Baptist believe that once you're saved you can never back slide enough to be lost...I just wouldn't take the chance...

Yes, it is a lot like a twice baked potato, only with no sour cream!

You can back slide and come back to the Lord by rededicating your life to him.Please get rid of the avatar, you have received enough attention now.

no u either accept or u don't.... a born-again christian is when you had no religion at all... (like an atheist...) then you become christian. if u drift away from God... and become an atheist again u never were born again.
