I am a born again Christian, who is not involved in the "Born Again" movement. This is because I find them typically Legalistic. I do not equate James with Paul, neither do I lean towards James, who was PROVABLY a Legalist himself. What the 'Born Again" movement has done is become undiscerning, and have allowed themselves a spiritual blind spot that keeps them from 'cast pearls.'
What I realized, thanks to God, is that God does not want everybody, which is scripturally provable, and I ought to remain discerning as to the will of God through His Spirit, so that only those whom God wants gets the message.

I am a born again Christian, and it is an awesome feeling to know that when I leave this earth, I will have a home in Heaven and get to meet my creator and savior!! Praise GOD for His plan of salvation!!

I think they have found a path that suits their needs for spirituality in their lives. Though not the path for me, I feel that if it brings them joy, peace, or the desire to become better people, then it's healthy for them. Many (most, even!) of the Christians I've met are genuinely caring people who try to live rightly. There are radicals in every group, however, and if anyone claims to be open-minded, they need to not hold the actions of some few against the many who follow that path.
Just my two cents,
Be well in all things

The born again craze is nothing more then good show on the part of the protestant Christians to try to show up their bigger brother Catholicism.

Well, I am born again and how that may be otherwise in Christianity ? Baptism symbolize burial and resurrection to a new life. May be you mean baptism in the Holy Spirit. I believe in it, because it is written about it.
