when Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him", so many people left Him.
if the 'born-again' of today were there at that very moment, they will surely be one of those people who would leave after hearing Jesus say that.

Because if Jesus meant it as symbolic only, He would have clarified it so then and there.

I grew up in a baptist church and later became a Seventh Day Adventist, studied with the Jehovah Witness for 4 years and while living in Dallas Mormons came knocking at my door and I finally began to talk to God and said enough! I did not want anyone else telling me they had truth. I told God if He wanted me to know truth, he would have to show me truth not anyone else. While living in Dallas I would listen to endtime ministries. I ended up moving to Garland, Tx and while passing a church that was across the street from my apt. I seen a sign that regarding endtime ministries, so I went in one Tuesday evening where a gentlemen (Bro. Johnny) was playing the videos by endtime ministries and I continued to go. One evening they played a video about being born-again (receiving the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues) and I thought these peple are out of their minds, wacko, crazy, you get where I am coming from. So I questioned Bro. Johnny and He assured me this was real and He invited me to attend the Sunday morning service where a visiting pastor would be speaking on receiving the Holy Spirit (speaking in tongues). So that Sunday morning I attended. The pastor invited all those that wanted the Holy Spirit to come down front, so I said Jesus I just want to know truth. The pastor told all those that wanted God's Spirit to say Hallelujah and I did and the second time I said it something amazing was transpiring, I was speaking in tongues, I did every thing to change my language back to English , but could not. It is real and an awesome experience. For more info e-mail me. Go. www.endtime.com and find the brochure what do you mean born again. Go to the left under "document library and then click on "view all documents titles" then to "What Do You Mean Born Again." IT IS SO REAL!!
Many people do not know the meaning of being born-again.

what are you talking about. What you just described happens on the first Sunday of each month at my "born again" church its called the holy communion.
Jesus came to the Jews first and alot believed in him the Priests and the pharisees who were selling salvation and the law in the temples were the ones that tried to disprove Jesus as the messiah because of his message was contrary to their words and hampered them. so before you go on a rampage and accuse people know your facts first.
GOD is love JESUS saves.

Q: "'born-again' sects are the same people who would turn their backs on Jesus? "
A: quite a convoluted mind which shows the bafoonery of the Papists, such is their quagmire of nonsense ... for it is these who think the head of the church is Peter, (Jesus really is) yet the head of their church is the one who betrayed Jesus 3 times before he heard a crow.
something to think about!

I think most Christians would turn their backs on Jesus.
Based upon the Bible he'd go up against all religions today just like he did with the Pharasees.
They'd probably have him crucified!

That is so silly. Communion is that we remember what Jesus did for us. We have communion regularly.

Your unending promotion of your cult will not phase true believers. I will never give any belief in or credence to the genocidal Vatican.
Catholics are not saved Christians.
