Being born of the Spirit of God, when you confess your sin and repent of it, putting your faith in Jesus Christ-- you are renewed and justified through Him, by faith. You are "born again" and are a new creation of God-- God changes your heart, and gives you new desires to please Him- and you receive the Holy Spirit when you get saved---as a promise.
The Holy Spirit teaches you all truth, as you seek the Lord in word and prayer.
John 3:3 says "Unless you are born again you cannot see the kingdom of God"
Believe and be baptized! One must "believe" first, that is when we "get" saved---baptism is our outward expression of our faith and obedience to God. --putting away the old self, and putting on the new self, which is in Jesus Christ! --Born again of the Spirit of God, through salvation in Jesus Christ!
And it's a wonderful gift that God has given me, and I pray many others will draw near to Him, and repent of their sin, and follow Him. Because there is nothing more important!

Born again, meaning being born, living, then "finding" God. So really the term born again is not describing what it actually is. Reincarnation is being "born again," (funny most born again christians don't believe in what born again really means, reincarnation) so I guess it should just be called "finding God," or some thing like that. But I suppose finding God would mean you lost it, which is impossible. Let's just call it God and do away with anything else.

Being born again is directly associated with baptism by water by immersion. The water represents the grave and the carnal man dies. we come up out of the water and are spiritually born again in that we promise to live spiritual life. If we continue in sin we are subject to Satan but if we repent we are saved by grace and Christ pays for our sins we don't do anymore. We must walk in a newness of life. If we do nothing (feed the hungry, visit the prisoner and the sick etc ) but let the Lord do it all, we are doomed suffer with the damned.

It is a wonderful thing!!!
You are able to live without the self responsibility of an atheist, do whatever the hell you like and then you can be reborn, and wipe all those crimes/ faults away. The J man came and died, to ensure we knew he took over everyones self responsibility, and him dying absolved everyone was enough to wipe out self responsibility forever, of course as long as you are very sorry and have FAITH, until the next time you do something wrong. Yep, you would then need to be born again, again.
Simple yes? Logical, perhaps no.

Born again or far right X-ans actively push to eliminate all things besides education religion and exercise , they actively seek ways to fascistic-ally impose their way of life on others using as a foundation a book ( the bible ) as a guide , in Texas they execute people with the 10 commandments on the wall behind them of which one prohibits murder then they have the gall to put " Don't mess with Texas " on everything , guess what , we messing with Texas and Florida and any other state that continually puts out bills which seek to once again impose their way of life on everyone else using among other things the Jewdicial system as their stronghold . That and they refuse to let go the refuge thought that we are not evolved , of which of course we are .

John's Baptism was of water and repentance
Jesus was of fire and the Holy Ghost
Born again by the spirit of Jesus
As you invite him in to live, abide and remain in you
you will become a new creature in Jesus
The old man will pass away with all of its
corruption and the new man of the spirit will
begin to take on a life of Jesus inside your very being
Wells of living water springing up into eternal life

Born again it means that we become a new human and realize our sins and not to do it again
