Question

what is the difference of born again christian from catholics

Answer 1

"What separates us as believers in Christ is much less than what unites us." (Pope John XXIII)

Almost all important doctrine is completely agreed upon between Catholic Christians and other Christians.

Here is the joint declaration of justification by Catholics (1999), Lutherans (1999), and Methodists (2006):

By grace alone, in faith in Christ's saving work and not because of any merit on our part, we are accepted by God and receive the Holy Spirit, who renews our hearts while equipping us and calling us to good works.

There are many minor doctrine issues and some major cultural traditional differences which, I believe, do not matter that much.

A Catholic worships and follows Christ in the tradition of Catholicism which, among other things, recognizes that Christ made Peter the leader of His new Church and Pope Benedict XVI is Peter's direct successor.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Well,all Christians should be 'born again' based on John 3:1-5.
But the term 'born again' is usually used by Protestant Christians.There are several differences between Protestants and Catholics:
Catholics hold tradition as equal to the Bible-Protestants don't.
Catholics include extra books (the Apocrypha) in theirBible,Protestants don't
Catholics believe that the death of Christ created merit that is shared with
sinners through sacraments.Protestants believe that it is only Christ's
sacrifice,and it is not shared through the catholic sacraments.
Catholics believe that salvation is received at baptism; may be lost by mortal sin;
regained by penance.Protestants believe in salvation by faith alone.
Catholics believe that the Catholic church is the one true church,Protestants
believe that there are true Christsians in every denomination.
Catholics believe that priests are mediators between God and man,Protestants hold to 'priesthood of all believers'.
Catholics believe that in Communion,the bread and wine becomes the actual body and blood of Jesus.Protestants believe that Communion is just a rememberance of Jesus' death.
Catholics believe in purgatory,Protestants don't.
Catholics pray to Mary and the saints,Protestants don't.

Answer 3

It should be no difference of born again christian and a catholics if thy live a christian life could than is only one God

Answer 4

There are many differences, but one big one involves the Bible.

Born-again Christians believe that the Bible is the sole rule of faith for Christians -- even though the Bible nowhere claims to be such.

We Catholics, on the other hand, believe that the fullness of religious truth lies first in the Bible, and also in the Sacred Tradition of the Church.

This Sacred Tradition is entirely different from the "traditions of men" that Jesus flatly condemns in the Gospels.

The Bible nowhere claims to be the sole rule of Christian faith -- and what's more, it says on many occasions that the Church which Jesus established (the Catholic Church) has full authority on earth.

This does not mean that the Church will be free from problems or scandal -- Christ said that not even the powers of hell would prevail against the Church, which in itself implies that the powers of hell would surely try. And try they have.

But it does mean that the Church is protected from teaching doctrinal or moral error.

Answer 5

Catholics are generally born into the religion. "Born again" Christians have been converted from something (into an insufferable bore, mostly).

Answer 6

Born again Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God...
Catholics also believe this but feel they are not worthy to ask Jesus for help, so they ask his mother to ask him.
That's the way I understand it in a nut shell so to speak.

Answer 7

Baptizing in water is one element, yet no longer comparable to being baptized with the Holy Spirit - (born returned). Jesus replace into baptized with the Holy Spirit via John the baptist, (in Mark & Luke), and in case you examine ACTS, (the third and the 8th financial disaster) for your self, you will see the place this happens. and because God by no potential differences, (he's a similar the day earlier right this moment,right this moment and perpetually), i'd say that the baptism interior the Spirit is precisely a similar right this moment because it replace into in Acts. Catholics don't think in this, (quantity one), and, (in case you learn Catholic history), you will locate out fairly some issues you probable needed you hadn't, like - they got here approximately in approximately 308 A.D. while Constantine replace into Emperor and... (sorry, yet), the Roman Catholic church set up their church after paganism to attraction to a brilliant crowd that replace into predominantly a Pagan society. They use Pagan-style rituals, clothing, hues, statues, beads, trademarks, astronomical symbols and declare to be their Pope to be a Holy See and make you confess to/via "THEM" purely as they say "THEY" are the only thank you to talk with the Lord. (And, as an aside, (back interior the day), they claimed to be the only ones that would desire to envision from the Bible - the common human beings weren't allowed via fact they weren't "HOLY" sufficient!). they're additionally wealthier than the biggest corporation interior the worldwide - they hoard it! (How's THAT scriptural?). Oh, there is soooo plenty history there... you incredibly would desire to start thinking and studying this for your self - incredibly!!!!! learn the Popes connection with Hitler too once you're at it! (Who do you think gave Hitler the assumption on what to do with the Jews - (God's chosen human beings!)? quickly... no longer something of their device is Scriptural! genuine Christians examine their own Bibles, (as God instructions), and you'd be able to wanna seem into looking a church that helps genuine Christian values and carry forth/coach at as quickly as from the be attentive to God, (the Bible). it fairly is particularly exciting! there is definitely plenty greater advantageous than i will circulate into right here, (plenty!!!), yet optimistically this would get you began on your man or woman journey to the certainty? wish this facilitates?

Answer 8

born agains are the ones like "PRAISE GAWDUH! DAMN YOU TO HELL YOU SON OF SATAN!"

catholics are like "divinitus sanctus holius blessus, amenus" and then do 1000 rituals

Answer 9

Protestants teach that one must be born again because that is what Jesus taught in the Bible.
The Protestant Churches teach Scripture, with no traditions added to it.
The Bible teaches that Scripture alone is the supreme and infallible authority for the church and the individual believer. This is not to say that creeds and tradition are unimportant, but the Bible alone is our final authority. Creeds and tradition are man made.
Jesus said, "Scripture cannot be broken" (John 10:35). He said "I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished" (Matthew 5:18). He said, "It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the law" (Luke 16:17).
Jesus used Scripture as the final court of appeal in every matter under dispute. He said to some Pharisees, "You nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down" (Mark 7:13). To the Sadducee's He said, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God". (Mat 22:29). To the devil, Jesus consistently responded, "It is written..." (Mat 4:4-10). So following Jesus' lead, the Scriptures alone are our supreme and final authority.
The Protestants broke from the Catholic church because they did not agree with the traditions that were being held as the authority, rather than God's word the Bible.

Dr. Boettner then gives us "Some Roman Catholic Heresies And Inventions" and the dates that these alleged "Apostolic" traditions were added to Roman Catholic theology &endash;
* Prayers for the dead, began about A.D. 300
* Making the sign of the cross 300
* Veneration of angels and dead saints, and use of images 375
* The Mass, as a daily celebration 394
* Beginning of the exaltation of Mary, the term "Mother of God" first applied to her by the Council of Ephesus 431
* Priests began to dress differently from laymen 500
* Extreme Unction 526
* The doctrine of Purgatory, established by Gregory I 593
* Latin used in prayer and worship, imposed by Gregory I 600
* Prayer directed to Mary, dead saints and angels, about 600
* Title of pope, or universal bishop, given to Boniface III 607
* Kissing the pope's foot, began with pope Constantine 709
* Worship of the cross, images and relics, authorized in 786
* Holy water, mixed with a pinch of salt and blessed by a priest 850
* Canonization of dead saints, first by pope John XV 995
* The Mass, developed gradually as a sacrifice, attendance made obligatory in the 11th century
* Celibacy of the priesthood, decreed by pope Gregory VII (Hildebrand) 1079
* The Rosary, mechanical praying with beads, invented by Peter the Hermit 1090
* Sale of Indulgences 1190
* Transubstantiation, proclaimed by pope Innocent III 1215
* Auricular Confession of sins to a priest instead of to
God, instituted by pope Innocent III, in Lateran Council 1215
* Bible forbidden to laymen, placed on the Index of Forbidden Books by the Council of Valencia 1229
* Purgatory proclaimed a dogma by Council of Florence 1439
* The doctrine of Seven Sacraments affirmed 1439
* Tradition declared of equal authority with the Bible by the Council of Trent 1545
* Apocryphal books added to the Bible by the Council of Trent 1546
* Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, proclaimed by pope Pius IX 1854
* Syllabus of Errors, proclaimed by pope Pitts IX, and ratified by the Vatican Council; condemned freedom of religion,conscience, speech, press, and scientific discoveries which are disapproved by the Roman Church; asserted the pope's temporal authority over all civil rulers 1864
* Infallibility of the pope in matters of faith and morals, proclaimed by the Vatican Council 1870
* Public Schools condemned by pope Pius XI 1930
* Assumption of the Virgin Mary (bodily ascension into heaven shortly after her death), proclaimed by pope Pius XII 1950
* Mary proclaimed Mother of the Church, by pope Paul VI 1965

And then Dr. Boettner concludes:
Add to these many others: monks - nuns -monasteries - convents - forty days Lent - holy week - Palm Sunday - Ash Wednesday - All Saints day - Candlemas day - fish day - meat days - incense - holy oil - holy palms - Christopher medals - charms - novenas - and still others.
There you have it - the melancholy evidence of Rome's steadily increasing departure from the simplicity of the Gospel, a departure so radical and far-reaching at the present time (1965) that it has produced a drastically anti-evangelical church. It is clear beyond possibility of doubt that the Roman Catholic religion as now practiced is the outgrowth of centuries of error. Human inventions have been substituted for Bible truth and practice. Intolerance and arrogance have replaced the love and kindness and tolerance that were the distinguishing qualities of the first century Christians, so that now in Roman Catholic countries Protestants and others who are sincere believers in Christ but who do not acknowledge the authority of the pope are subject to all kinds of restrictions and in some cases even forbidden to practice their religion. The distinctive attitude of the present day Roman Church was fixed largely by the Council of Trent (1545-1563), with its more than 100 anathemas or curses pronounced against all who then or in the future would dare to differ with its decisions.
