""Mormons" don't refer to being 'born again' as an event, but rather as a process." Wrong, you don't understand Mormons

Not every one that saith unto me 'Lord Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in Heaven.

I question your affiliation with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "Mormons" don't refer to being 'born again' as an event, but rather as a process. They would also not refer to themselves as "also Christian". They believe that they are followers of Jesus Christ and are, therefore, Christian.
So, my guess is that you are just trying to stir up some contention and that your question is not sincere. Looking at some of the answers, I would say that you have succeeded.

"Faith without works is dead." To all those who are saying things about Mormons and don't know what they are talking about, please stop. The truth about Mormon/LDS beliefs can be found at www.lds.org!

What works do you do? As in the parable of the talents, if you are faithful in a little thing, more shall be given you.

Are you a Christian? Do you believe that Christ is God, that he resurrected from the dead (and is alive today) and was born of a virgin (establishing his sinless nature)?

I find contradiction between Mormon and Christian. They are not compatible. It sounds like you do not know what you believe. Why not go all out and move into "New Age" or Witchcraft or whatever.
To answer your question, we are saved by grace and through faith in Jesus Christ.

You're an oxy-mormon!

A Mormon Christian? (Born-Again at that!)
The two doctrines are incompatible, therefore you are an oxymoron.
You cannot be a Christian and deny the Deity of Jesus Christ.

Excuse me, but you're a little confused. The term is born again Christian, not born again Mormon.
Mormons believe works justify them, not faith.

I just wanted to provide a few references for those who don't think Mormons believe in being "born again."
