According to the Book - nope.
But I'm sure not everyone follows the rules. It's pretty much different from person to person.

First of all you should be a Christian not only to be a better person or better Chrsitian but to know withou a doubt that you are saved and have a place in the family of God . You shoud be seeking His Kingdom and His righteousness above all other things. No you should not have sex before marriage, Why ruin the best time of your life when you consumate your marriage on the day of your marriage. Ask your self, would Christ want His bride (the Church) To have spots and blemishes , tarnished by human desire or does he want His bride to be clean and upright in His eyes,That is why He died for you, if, only for you. Now get back to right thinking and put Christ first, not your fleshly desires. God Bless You.

There is always a chance, if your 'born again' Christian friend does not live up to what the Bible demands of him/her.
Why did you put born-again in quotes? Is that sarcastic? Maybe I'm reading too much into your question.

Right..and a Christian would not be involved with a/an un-believer.
"Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?" (2 Cor. 6:14-15).
Unfortunately, some Christians hope that they can convert the person he/she is dating or marrying. They often think that their spirituality is strong enough and that they can witness to, or motivate the other person to convert through their patience and love. Why do they think this? Three reasons: They love the person and are emotionally blinded, they are naive, and they do not know God's word.
This may sound harsh, but something as serious as marrying an unbeliever needs to be dealt with properly and to-the-point. We are not to compromise the will of God and endanger our spiritual well being. All we need to do is look in the Old Testament to see why God says not to marry unbelievers. This is what God said to the Israelites.
“When the Lord your God shall bring you into the land where you are entering to possess it, and shall clear away many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger than you, 2 and when the Lord your God shall deliver them before you, and you shall defeat them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them and show no favor to them. 3 “Furthermore, you shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor shall you take their daughters for your sons. 4 “For they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods," (Deut. 7:1-4).
The reason not to marry an unbeliever is that he/she can influence you away from the Lord. Don't be so naive to think that "you" will never fall. It happens all the time.
Children
If you marry an unbeliever and have children, how will it effect their spirituality to have the parents divided over spiritual things? Is it a help or a hindrance to their spiritual health? Obviously, it is a hindrance.
Unfortunately, too many people do not take into account the extremely serious situation of children and their eternal destiny. Yet, because of "love" and because they listen to the hearts over the word of God, many people marry unbelievers anyway...and often suffer dire consequences.
What if you are already married to an unbeliever?
If you are already married to an unbeliever then you need to love him/her as best you can, set a good example of being a Christian as you can, and pray for your spouse's salvation. You cannot leave your spouse (unless there is physical abuse, adultery, or if you are abandoned). You need to stick it out. Seek the Lord.

As a christian, you SHOULD not practice sex before marriage. That being said, it doesn't mean that you CAN'T practice it. God's forgiveness covers all sin, to include pre-marital sex. If you too happen to have an encounter than he would be able to ask for forgiveness later. That doesn't mean that you need to try and plan out an evening were you can get him to have sex with you. If it happens, than it happens but if it doesn't than it just means that he respects you enough to wait until you two are joined together before God in Holy Matrimony.

Actually, there is a high percentage of men and women who engage in sex before marriage, and they are from all sorts of religious belief systems.
I'm sure you would be able to find one, but is that really what you want? (a born again, I mean, not sex before marriage)

Don't let the name "born again" mislead you.
I had sex with a born again, so the name means nothing.
It is what two people desire not what a title or name dictates.

All the Christian women I've been with put out right away. I usually date Xtian women because that's what there is around here.

Hebrews 13:4 "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge."

Possibly, but it's not worth all of the emotional turmoil she'll put you through for it. Born again types have weird hangups about sex, even if they are *very* experienced and kinky. lol
