1. First they're raised in church
2. After being raised in church, they get into serious trouble. More trouble than the average Atheist
3. Than they say they found Jesus and changed their life for the better
4. When telling their story about Jesus saving them, they never admit that they were raised in church which caused them to have the mind set to get into trouble in the first place.

A lot of people do hide things. Some people have done things that they are ashamed about and have asked God for forgiveness and have already been forgiven. I know some people who were raised in churches that have caused them problems. Unfortunately, not all churches truely are there to help and minister. Many are there just to make money. I know someone who was raised in a church like this, there is nothing they can do about it now. It is in the past. All they can do now is move forward. So why bring up something like this if it causes pain? It is a good thing that they have left the past where it belongs, in the past.

Um first off not all born again Christians were raised in church.
Second where do you get your facts do you have statistics to back that up.
Third I in no way claim to be perfect and any one who does be alert when around them because they are lying.
Fourth there are a lot of people out there that we in the pit of hell and have found Christianity and it saved them. There is a girl that is becoming nationally known for being dragged out of the pit of drugs and cutting. She wasn't a Christian to begin with then God saved her from herself.

Yes! That is exactly right. The criteria for ministers in my friend's born-again church included a specific "sin - life change" model. Funny how you never see this type of pattern in denominations who baptize infants.

Are born again christians hiding something? YES It's called sin.
I'm a christian and I wasn't brought up in a church. I came to Jesus Christ through repentance.

Hey, if you want to be an Athiest that's fine. No one will bother to try and change you. You're life is up to you. God given right, you know?
However, don't keep questioning why Christians do things the way they do. Go outside and play with your friends and leave the adults alone, OKAY?

Where did you get this information? The picture you are painting of Christians... this is merely something you made up, there is no proof that most Christians follow the demographics you have posted here. It is your own bias picture of Christians, and i thank you ahead of time for the thumbs down. Bias people always thumbs down those that do not support their agenda... lol! :o)

They really saw Jesus, actually His Grace, Jesus' grace is really worked in their life, About raised in church, you are wrong, actually, church is the place where we can communicate with Christ, by praising or praying together. Then, from that time, we can see that Jesus is really working with His Grace in his life...

I sense something deeper in every question you ask, some personal issues that you really need to bring to light and begin loving yourself. I happen to know that many people who turned to Christ had never in their life been in trouble (aside from the trouble of heading for hell), and others who did turn to Christ while enduring hardship. But the fact is that no matter what brings one to Christ, he is welcomed with open arms.

Being born again is like to get a second wind. These saved souls, actually, may have fish and cross tattoed somewhere on their forearm. Second life, second chance, even more troubles ahead.
I wonder how many times is it OK to be born again? Can anybody please tell me?
