There is only one type of Christian...Born Again.

Jesus stated that you must be Born Again...Nothing new,in the concept. If you know Jesus Christ as your Savior,you are Born Again of the Spirit of God..


In John 3, the Lord addressed himself directly to the question of how to become a citizen of the kingdom of heaven. In verse 3, Jesus answered, "…Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Being born again is not a new type of Christianity, it is what is taught in the bible, to be with the Lord you have to return to the form as a child, be born again. In other words take everything you know and have been taught from birth and know that it is all one huge lie. Toss it all out the window and start having a relationship with Jesus, God and the Holy Ghost through prayer, faith and believing without any doubt. NO Doubt!

Born-again Christian is not supposed to be a kind of religion. The founder of that religion has misinterpreted the verse on the bible about the word born again.

Born again means the baptism of a man through water in the name of God , the father, of the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit of God by emerging on the body of water to take away his sins as mankind.

Born again Christians is false religion The Ministers are fooling his believers,(members). and bringing them to the wrong path and dark path and they were lost on their way.

It's not really a new type of Christianity. In the Book of John 3:3, Jesus says, "except a man be born again, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God." When you study, not just read, the Bible you'll see that it's the commandment of Christ. Christ wants you to drop your old life, and gain a new life in Him.
Christian literally means "Christ Like." So follow all Christs commandments and teaching, and read your Bible. There are many "forms" of Christianity, but only one true church. That's the church that is established by the body of Christ. Read the books of John and Romans. You will gain more insight about becoming 'Born again.' Or just email me.

The born again Christian is far from new. Jesus said to Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, " Truly I say to you, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.

Jesus explained to Nicodimus that which is born of the flesh, is flesh, but that which is born of the spirit, is spirit. In other words, we must be born first of the flesh, then we must give ourselves to Jesus, and allow the Holy Spirit to become one with our spirit. When we do this, and give control to the Holy Spirit, our lives will change. Some have a great deal of changes to make, as did my own, some have less, as that of Billy Grahan. But we all come short of the glory of God, and making these changes is the beginning of a lifetime of change. It is sanctification, this process is in conjuction with your life with God. What people call, " walking with God " is just life with God. When you live for God, everything God wants you to do comes first. Your life on this earth is no longer yours, it belongs to God. Now there is a reward so to speak, that comes from this. At the end of this very short existance, you are given access to the Kingdom of Heaven, an eternal existance that is beyond our understanding in blissfulness.

The born again Christian is not as common as you might think. All those who claim to be born again, are not. There are some who really have no idea what being born again is all about, yet they follow the crowd of Christians claiming to be born again. You can tell the true born again Christians by the life they live. It will be seperated from this world, yet in this world, it will be a life of honesty, truth, and love for their fellow man, it will be a life of unconditional giving, worshiping God and giving God all the glory for everything that comes from their lives, never talking bad about anyone, and always forgiving, even forgiving those who would cause them harm even to death. These are but a few of the atributes of the born again Christian. When you look at the born again Christian, you see Jesus.

May God be with you,
William M. Butler, Evangelist of St. Luke Ministries

Jesus meant that all men are sinful in God;s eyes that they need to be recreated and renewed by the sovereign activity of God's Spirit. This comes about through faith in Jesus Christ. Without faith there is no renewal or no eternal life. When a person excepts Jesus as their personal savior then the process of being reborn again occurs. The power of the Holy Spirit is working on behalf of Christ. We do away with the old works and start letting the Holy spirit lead us to become a new creature in Christ. Paul said in his writings, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation" (2 Cor. 5:17). Even though our physical image does not change on the outside; our inside does; only because the Holy Spirit is renewing us from inside out. Although our, "Outward man" is perishing, the Christian's "inward Man is being renewed day by day" (2 Cor, 4:16).We strive to be Christ like, by being reborn again; the old man no longer exist as long as we strive with Jesus Christ and that is to keep a personal relationship, meditate upon His word and praying without ceasing.

Christianity is a relationship with Christ and knowing that Jesus died for you sins, many religions have a set of rules of dos and don ts and many religions are work oriented meaning you have to work or earn your way to heaven.

But Jesus died for your sins so you can go to heaven grace is not getting what you truly deserve and it is unmerited favor you can earn heaven it is by accepting Jesus into your heart and believing He is the son of God and believing that Jesus died for your sin.

Just because you accept Jesus does not mean you wont of problems because you will but there is joy and peace being a Christian and if you confess and turn away meaning repent from your sins the Christian walk is a process not an event it takes your whole life to grow in Christ.

What separates Christians from other religions is love Godly love and the love of one another.

How can you be a Christian and not be born again? You are either saved or you are not...if you are wondering about this term,,,read your Bible.....it means a spiritual rebirth...if you have not the spirit of God, you are none of his.

Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. He came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God." Jesus answered him, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born again." Nicodemus said to him, "How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother's womb and be born?" Jesus answered, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit."

– John 3:1-5, RSV

First of all, I hope you can get it clear through your head that the only type of Christian is a born-again Christian. For God tells us in the Holy Bible, that unless a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. I do not know what other type of Christian that you are speaking of, for there is only one type. If you have not been born-again, then you are no Christian, according to the Word of God. And to be born-again, you must be washed in the blood of Jesus; asking Him to forgive you for your sins, and repent, or turn away from your sins. And if you have not done such, then you are no Christian at all. This is not my words, but the words of God Almighty.

'born again' and 'Christian' mean the same thing. If someone wants to separate the 2 they probably don't know the real meaning of born again. You can't be a Christian without being born again.

Being born again isn't a new type of christian. Christ told Nicodemus in John Chapter 3 verse 3 "truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. And verse 5 Unless one is born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. Read all of John chapter 3 for the complete conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus.
