Answer 10

No. I am born from above.

The name 'Born Again' comes from an unauthentic translation of the Bible: Jesus said to Nicodemus: "Truly, truly I say to you, unless one is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God, unless he is born of water and Spirit. (Jn: 3-5)
Here is the original Greek manuscript of this Gospel, John never uses the word 'born again'.



("palin" is again; born "gennethe"). All Catholic translations are using the correct word written in Greek, "anothen" which means "from above" or "born above" when they translated. The name 'born again' itself is an artificial creation of some Protestant ministers, and was never spoken by Jesus.

Born again people believe that when they confess "I am born again", they automatically become born again! Just say "I accept Jesus as Lord and Savior" we become worthy to go to heaven! It is like an instant coffee, an easy way and shortcut to go to heaven.

This foolish concepts of 'Born Again' groups are coming from the teachings of Martin Luther who said, 'faith alone is the way to salvation (without works) the Bible alone is the basis of faith' (not the preaching and preaching and practices of the Apostles as the Catholic Church considers Holy Traditions).



Some preachers of this religion even believe that 'The Church alone will not save' and 'Baptism is not essential for salvation'. If these were the case, why did Jesus institute Baptism and the Church?



Work must follow our faith as St. James "Faith without work is dead". Jesus Himself says to us: "Not anyone who calls me Lord, Lord, will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do what my Father in Heaven wants them to do" (Mat. 7:21) At the time of Judgment, Christ will come in His glory and He will separate the wicked from the righteous and everyone will be rewarded according to their works. "I was hungry you; gave me food." "I was thirsty; you gave me drink" that is the way Jesus will judge us.



But 'Born Again' trusts in the theory of Luther 'faith alone is the basis of salvation'. At the time of Judgment, when 'Born Again' makes a statement; "I accepted You as my Lord and Savior" will they be taken to heaven? Will Martin Luther come to rescue them by quoting his theory? The way of Martin Luther and the way of salvation that is written in the Bible are entirely different!
