Indeed, you are correct that you were never born again.Yep. That's right. Was. Never was "born again" what ever that nebulous notion is.
Some people in the American politics forum love sayingWhy is this in American Politics if you only want scriptural arguments? You don't seem to want to discuss the politics of this...
We are born again during Baptism, and as the Bible says we are saved through Baptism. Each time we fall we can be saved again.How many time can a person be born again?
Does not the text state that we were baptized into his death? That we were buried with Christ into death?We are born again during Baptism,
What we have here is the sacramental union, wherein the symbol is used to refer to the reality.and as the Bible says we are saved through Baptism.
Actually, we do not die to sin and rise to a new life in Christ each time we fall (sin).Each time we fall we can be saved again.
Objective morality is not dependent on the subjective opinion of the majority. Even if the subjective consensus is unanimous, it still doesn't determine whether that morality is objective.I don't understand the comment "We all know torturing children is wrong so there must be objective morality"
Could something that thinks it is true explain it in a totally different way
please please please do not just say "but why do you think that"
I would suggest that you only use scripture
Did you ever say anything like "I accept Christ as my savior?" If so, you HAVE been born again of the Holy Spirit and you can abide in the bosom of the Lord as long as you like. If not, my religion says that if you basically follow the golden rule, your own deeds can save you. So either way, I think your ticket is punched. You're going to glory hereafter!I guess then I'm out. I was never "born again". I was just a Catholic.
Now if only Jesus did not state the contrary. . .(John 3:18)Did you ever say anything like "I accept Christ as my savior?" If so, you HAVE been born again of the Holy Spirit and you can abide in the bosom of the Lord as long as you like. If not,

May God bless you in any case.

But that is not necessarily the final statement about you.
We all have a general sense via The Golden Rule, but specific details require revelation, which requires our surrender to the Holy Spirit [John 14:26].
What if two people have conflicting revelations?
Christians often have asynchronous revelations, but we will agree when we see Jesus according to 1 John 3:2. All Born Again believers are "works in progress."What if two people have conflicting revelations?

Well actually, for the believer in Scripture, only that which agrees with Scripture is right.I was thinking about solving moral problems now rather than wait. So if there are conflicting revelations, how do we know which one is right?
Because in the other thread did not give explanations I could understand and I have heard other people making similar arguments when discussing American politicsI don't know why on earth this is in American Politics as an OP

I've met Catholics who were born again. I'm sure you could still contribute to the discussionI guess then I'm out. I was never "born again". I was just a Catholic.
Being Baptized doesn't make you born again. You can go down a dry sinner and come up a wet sinner. Repenting of your sins and accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior makes you born again. Then you should be baptized.All of those who received the sacrament of Baptism are born again.
Morality is one's best, current understanding of Truth, not its fullness. In that regard, it is much like competing scientific hypotheses.I was thinking about solving moral problems now rather than wait.
Even Christians, who are converging on Christ-likeness, do not yet have a monopoly on Truth. God's people will still make mistakes as we progress. The difference between a believer's mistakes and those of an unbeliever, eternally speaking, is that those of the former are under grace. That grace is only promised to those who are surrendered to Jesus.So if there are conflicting revelations, how do we know which one is right?
It only takes once. You may stray and then come back but that's not repeating the process that's just getting back on track.How many time can a person be born again?
