Christians: Would you consider yourself born again or just Christian?

Question

I just ask that we dont get into a debate about "only real Christians are born again." I am taking a survey of sorts and would like to know where everyone is at. Appreciated in advance :-)

Answer 1

Hello ((((((( Lucid Freedom )))))))

I am a born again child of the Most High God..

He sought me and He bought me with His redeeming blood..

He Loved me before I knew Him and all my ~Love~ is due Him..

Wishing You All a Very ~HAPPY NEW YEAR~

In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With ~Love~ In Christ.. :)

Answer 2

I am born again and by being born again makes me a Christian so I am a born again Christian :)

Answer 3

Whether a person believes they are "born again" depends on their definition of "born again".

Christians who believe in reincarnation would definitely say they were "born again".

Fundies would say they are born again when they accepted Christ, whether or not they have changed in any other way at all.

Liberal Christians would say they are a new creature...IOW, have obtained a renewed spirit, a more loving attitude, and a different set of moral values than before they came to know Christ.

I've never quite understood why anyone would use the term "born again" (even though Christ said it), as it means different things to different people, and depends on the perspective of the person who calls themselves this. It's like asking a person if they are "good". The term is so vague, the answer itself reveals nothing.

I am a different person with different values that interacts with people differently since I came to know Christ. Does this make me "born again"?

To answer your question:
I am a Christian who believes in reincarnation. So, by my definition, I am "born again", as I have had previous lives.

Answer 4

If you are not Born Again you are not a Christian. Yes I am Born Again.

Answer 5

How can anyone be a Christian if they are not born again- read John 3? No debate here, just truth.

Answer 6

One must be born of the water and the spirit to be a Christian-John 3:5.

Answer 7

John 3
Born again Christian: there is no separation of the terms. They are equal and the same. To be born again means to be a committed to following Christ which means to be a Christian.
Indeed, Christianity is about commitment, not just religion or rituals. It is about faith and love, not going to church or being good to others, but those do come in once salvation is commenced.

Answer 8

Both.

John 3:3-7
Jn 3:3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born again.1 ”

Jn 3:4 “How can anyone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”

Jn 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit2 gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You3 must be born again.

Answer 9

Yes, I am born again, and can remember the moment it happened. However, if someone says they became a Christian say "in 2003" but can't point to a specific moment, who am I to say they aren't a Christian? It happens different ways for different folks, but if the end result is loving and trusting Jesus, that's good enough for me.

Answer 10

A born again Christian would be a Christian who has trusted in the payment of the cross of Jesus for the forgiveness of their sins. They believe and therefore have the Holy Spirit.

Answer 11

I am a born again Christian. I have accepted Christ as my Savior. That is what qualifies one to be considered a Christian. Sorry had to put in my 2 cents!
