The Gospel of John, Chapter 3, verses 3, 5, and 7 say: Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." Verse 5: Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God." He is saying if you are not born again you cannot see or enter the Kingdom of God! Verse 7: "Do not marvel that I said to you, "You must be born again." Would you like to be born again just as your Lord Jesus Christ commands in his Holy Bible? All you have to do is invite Jesus into your heart and life to be born again. You can pray the following prayer: "Lord Jesus, forgive me of my sins, forgive me for leaving you out of my life, I open the door of my heart and I ask you to co me into me. Lord Jesus, thank you for being Lord of my life and saving me!"

Yes I am.
I'm no longer a descendant of Adam anymore who died in his sins but am a descendant of Jesus whose spiritually alive and gave me the Holy Spirit.
Sin no longer separates us from God anymore but death which we inherited from Adam does.
But because of Jesus sacrifice taking on all of our sins and being punished for them we can be made innocent and receive the Holy Spirit which gives us LIFE and in order to be given the Holy Spirit God has to clean us out because you wouldn't put something clean into something dirty would you?
So we are completely forgiven now and forever and fully alive in the body of Christ who is also one with the Father.
God bless you!

Yes, I was born again at the age of 23. I grew up in a church and was baptized as a baby and confirmed as a boy. Those things didn't save me though. I was not saved until after years of partying, drugs and hating God. I was humbled by God and went to my knees. I asked for forgiveness for all that I had done and accepted him as my Lord and Savior.

The meaning of born again is the baptism in adult age. Baptism is the washing away of your sin so in baptism if your sins were forgiven and washed away , you were born again without sin as the child was born without sin.
So after baptism from a t rue religion, do not commit sin anymore if possible. Obey the laws of God and do not allow to lost your faith in God. Do not be tempted by the evil spirit to do bad things against God. Avoid evil things. OK?
The born again christians have misinterpreted this matter by their false minister or pastor and their religion is false religion.The born again religion is not biblical for your information.

Now that would depend on what you call Born again.
I claim to be born many times. I believe in reincarnation of the soul into another human life. I experienced this through past life regression and dreams.
The religious term for being born again refers to your acceptance of Jesus as your Lord and master as a mature decision at an age that you can consciously do so and mean it.
Jesus refered to Born again when he told Nicodemus you must be born again to enter into the kingdom of heaven. He told him not to wonder about this because he was talking on a spiritual level and not a physical level. He was talking about giving up all preconceived notions and thoughts about his belief and becoming a child of God spiritually seeking him and his righteousness.
I can truly say from my decision to follow Jesus as my Lord and master that I am Born again and a child of God and have matured to a man of the Lords service.
Another way to view being born again would be when you die, you will be born again into the kingdom of God back to where you came from.
So you will have to decide which meaning you wish to choose.

As a seriously practicing Christian, I would have to believe that I am. But if I have never been a part of the secular world, does that mean I was "born again" when I was born? (Let's say that I was "born again" before I was born, that is, like St John the Baptist.)

John 3:8
"The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

Any human is born actually one time in his life.
But after death, there is another life according to the retribution. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'la will make us all alive agin for retribution.
Paradise and hell will be the final result according to human doing and worshipping in the current life.
