Mormons and Jehovahs witnesses are trained in those ways. Born again Christians simply accept the ways and pledge their lives. The Born Again movement is not as concrete as the Mormon Church of JW movement. Some Born Agains go to traditionals churchs. Some live in socialistic communes where they pool their resources. Some affilate with what some term are fringe or extremist groups. Some Born Agains are termed by others as Jesus Freaks.

The Born Again movement is quite diverse.

Mormons and JWs have VERY FIXED methods and ways and you HAVE to subscribe tot hem.

JWs put on suits and walk door to door with their little Watch Tower magazines and JW bibles. They're basically nice people with ridgid views.

Mormons are clanish and keep to themselves, as do JWs withoutsiders. They don't like their kids hanging around those who aren't Mormons (or JWs, as the case may be).

Mormons tend to live in Mormon communities if possible.

Mormons tend to take care of their own. The Church offers free clothing, food and if you're a Mormon Church member and need sever medical care BYU MEdical Center will provide it free of charge.

Mormons and JWs take their Religion and methods seriously.

Born Again Christians take Jesus seriously.

I don't know much about JW.

Born again Christians are those who have given their lives to Christ. Some require evidence such as speaking in tongues.

Mormons are Christian in the sense that they follow the teachings of Christ. They are not orthodox Christians in that they believe there are many gods, they have other scripture than the Bible, and they believe that people on Earth may some day become gods themselves. There is more, but that's a start.

The difference is Mormons recieved their doctrine from a book supposedly given by an angel. The bible delcares this as being of satan. The bible is a refence book.
They think of themselves as gods in a deified state.

Jehovahs witness when they were found to be wrong in their doctrine created their own socalled bible by changing many words and themes to suit their beliefs.They do not believe in the deity of Jesus.

Born again christian is a disciple of christ who believes in the indwelling of the holy spirit thereby having a personal relationship wit God the Son and the Word of GOD.

JWs are brain-washed robots who deny the divinity of Jesus and do not celebrate Christian holidays because they say it is pagan. They deny the fact that these holy days were meant to replace pagan practices and to give emphasis on Jesus. Mormons believe in polytheism which is contrary to Christian doctrine. There is only one God. We cannot all be gods. The Book of Mormon is just a Dr. Seuss book. It is not of God. Born again Christians can go to heaven if they are not self righteous. They are more Bible-based than the two aforementioned.

Christians get their doctrine from the bible and are saved and except jesus into their heart, the other two are cults, they believe in the bible, but have their own KJV and have added to the Bible. The Mormons claim that Cain's curse was black skin, that when Paul talks about babtism of the dead, they literally will babtize themselves for the dead. For J.W. you can go to www.saintsalive.com, both Mormons and J.W. send out missionaries. Mormon theology has paganism, freemasondry and a misture of jewish and christianity mixed into their theology. therefore they claim to be christains because they do not drink or smoke or take drugs and are family oriented, but being saved is the born again theology of the bible and mormons never take Jesus into their heart or exceot him as their savior, they are trying too hard to evolve into God's.

Born again christians are anyone who has decided to be repent of their sins and except jesus as thier lord and saivor. Jehovahs witnesses are realy just a christian sect, mormons beliove that christ was in america and that the founder(who's name excapes me right now) was given golden tablets which is now the book of mormon. in my person view i put mormons up[ with scienctology they are both kinda weird.

I don't know about JW or Born again Christians but I can tell you about Mormons; we prefer to be called LDS because that is part of the official name of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints.
A lot of what you read or hear about us is false.

Here is the real deal (pardon my long windedness)

You don't have to be a mormon to receive help from a mormon we help ALL needy people, regardless of their religion,race,color etc.

We don't live in all mormon communities, not even in Utah. I live in NC and there is only 1 other mormon family besides mine in my neighborhood, I grew up in Utah and not everyone in my neighborhood was LDS either, the majority of them were but not all.

Here are some of the things that we believe in;

-We believe in God the eternal father, His son JESUS CHRIST and in the holy ghost.
- We believe that men will be punished for their own sins and not for Adams transgression.
- We believe that through the atonement of Christ ALL mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel.
-We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the gospel are;first, faith in the Lord JESUS CHRIST,second, repentance, third, baptism by immersion for the remission of sins, fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the holy ghost.
- We believe that a man must be called of God,by prophecy,and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority,to preach the gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
- We believe in the same organization that existed in the primitive church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
-We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation,visions,healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
-We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly;we also believe the Book Of Mormon to be the word of God.
-we believe all that God has revealed; all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many wonderful things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
- We believe in the literal gathering of Isreal and in the restoration of the 10 tribes;that zion(the new Jeruslem) will be built on the American continent;that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradiscal glory.
-we claim the privilege of worshipping almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience,and allow all men the same privilege; let them worship how, where, or what they may.
-We believe in being subject to kings, rulers, and magistrates,in obeying, honoring and sustaining the law.
- We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men;indeed we may say we follow the admonition of Paul-We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and we hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely,or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
