You don't need to be born again! I am proud to have been born only once, through baptism, to christ. I am Catholic.

I am Born again, cause this mortal soul had to put on immortality. The flesh state is sentenced to death, but if that soul puts on the Spirit of God ( Born again) Then we can be reuinted with the Father. Forgiven through the sacrafice of Christ Jesus. This is my choice of Life cause it seems to be the only way that offers love, compassion and strength. I have seen and heard from many religions. Every one has their ups and downs, but the Christian life has the best warranty. Eternity. This life isn't worth it. People have problems with so-called Christians, not Christians. If you walk and live it, you will notice that people are more acceptant of you. It is radicials and those that say they walk but are more talkers that turn people off. Unfortuently we all get labled together. True Christians are the nicest people you will meet, but many times we aren't given a chance, cause we are grouped into all their bad hang-ups. To bad, huh? God bless.

Because Jesus said unless a man be born again, he shall not see the kingdom of God. To be born again is to live life to the fullest. One will never know the peace and joy that Jesus will bring into your life until you experience it for yourself. I feel for the people that reject God, even though they bring their problems on themselves. There is a richness in living for God that has no equal in monetary terms. Satan causes people's pride to take control in thinking that they are 'free thinkers' and 'think for themselves', when in reality they are serving their own will, instead of the will of God. I love living and trying to serve the will of God, and having Him work in my life and deal with me on a daily basis about the things that I do. Better that than have Him deal with me on judgement day all at once. THAT is why I am a born again Christian.

If you are asking why I made the decision to get saved by the wonderful grace of God then it's simple Jesus gave his life so that I could have everlasting life and I thank him for that.
Now if you are asking why saved Christians are referred to as "Born Again" it is because you are born once by of water and you are considered spiritually dead but when you decide to put your will aside and follow Christ then you are then born again because you are now spiritually alive. Jesus says in John 3:5 & 7 "Most assuredly, I say to you unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God...7 Ye must be born again."

That is tautology.
There are no other kinds of Christian
Jesus said 'You must be born again'
So that is how you become a Christian

God has a plan for everyones life. I believe that born again Christians can stay in touch with God and serve others through him. Jesus is my Lord and master and I want to obediently love him by following his plan for my life.

Because I came to realize I can do nothing on my own that really means anything, that' when I began to search for something more. I found the living word of GOD speaking to my heart telling me about all the things I never knew. I accepted that Jesus is the son of GOD, Sent to redeem God's creation back to Himself, through His word, by His word. You have to understand God is His word so He has to go by what he says.

because it makes sense, Jesus said you must be born
again,and He spoke not on his own authority but only on his Father ( God) authority,and not many people know what they are talking about, look at all the different religions, philosophies,opinions ect on the market and tell me i`m wrong.The Bible is God`s manual for the human race, as the saying goes follow the makers instructions.
B-basic
I--instructions
B-before
L-leaving
E-earth

Because I recognized I was a sinner, who would not get into Heaven until I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, and took up my cross and followed Him.

Because I've finally truly accepted the belief that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins and then rose again to be with God. I've confessed that I'm a sinner. And I said BELIEF, not FACT so don't go attacking me. It's my choice to believe it and if you don't want to, that's not my problem, it's yours. :-)
