My honest opinion is that there is no such a thing like ¨born again¨ Christians... except in the mind of the people that guess they are... To certify they really are, they should get an independent evaluation and be judged by external experts... Is there sucha thing like experts in ¨born again¨ Christians....
Further, righteous life is not a privilege of Christians. Any person can be righteous and conversely many so called ¨christians¨ are pretty weird people...

No, you can't.
However, a truly born again Christian has the Holy Spirit inside of him/her and will want to lead a righteous life. When she/he does not do this, there will be a tremendous amount of guilt. A backsliding Christian is a truly unhappy person.

No one can really lead a righteous life. Just as no one could follow the law. Faith requires that Messiah becomes your righteousness through faith. Nothing you can do will bring yourself closer to God in that way.

no. once you're adopted, you in the family and can't get out. no one can lead a righteous life without the holy spirit. god is faithful to complete the work he starts in every believer's life... the question is if it really started...
do you believe, or just profess to believe.

Tiger, you have have been given one small project alongside with your theory, and that i will help you recognize what that's. you assert that believing that Jesus Christ is savior isn't adequate for salvation, that we could desire to "obey God". it relatively is very imprecise. precisely what do you mean by that? in case you mean we are able to never sin returned, you have have been given a brilliant project. Jesus died on a bypass because of the fact we are no longer able to stay a existence free of sin. "till there is real faith, evidenced by following Jesus' words". it relatively is severe high quality. Do you ever sin? because of the fact in case you do, you're no longer following Jesus' words. that's no longer by our strikes we are stored, that's by religion on my own. Ephesians tells us this, and so do many different scriptures. What you assert is that Jesus' dying on the bypass develop into no longer adequate; that we could desire to upload to it. that's impossible for us to function to it, expensive. He pronounced "that's finished", and Jesus does not say issues He does not advise.

Being a Christian is a reversible choice.

Its your choice. You can let yourself slide, forget about God, and choose to turn your back on Him. Yet if you ask for forgiveness when you mess up, He will forgive you. You are never too hopeless for God.

You have to make a willing choice to be "unborn."
