"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law".. Galatians 5:22-23... A christian should be able to possess all these qualities, and they are so transparent enough for the world to see...

A Christian is one who believes in Christ, and acts like Christ...

There's nothing like true born again christian...ure either born again or not#nd jesus used that terminology when he taught Nicodemus (a pharisee) what it meant to be born again..although people can hide under the pretext of being born again when it is glaring(to them) that thev backslided...a born again christian is one who doesn't give in to the demands of the flesh,
he is infuriated by
EVery act of ungodliness/immorality around him

Who is a born again?

A person who's decided to leave the things of the world and surrender his life to Christ

Yes we have so many born-agains but the truth is...

Being a bornagain will not automatically undo our human characteristics

We'll all strive for that perfectness portrayed by Jesus in the Bible but will always find sin staring at us...


In summary... no one is a born again

We are all humans!

I was like WTF,no be Theresa be this again?

To me,born again do not exist.

A Born-again is not a sinner even though he/she may be tempted to sin.

Jesus was tempted by the devil on 3 occassions.

The fact dat ur Ex had sex with u, & was crying while leading worship shows that her conscience is not dead. Dat's a Born-again Christian.

Crying signifies remorse. A broken & a contrite heart, God will not despise.

a truly born again will hate Sin with a passion.he will grieve anytime evil is being practiced around him-Pastor E A Adeboye

Born again means u r reborn spiritually. Man is more of a spirit than flesh-d flesh takes u to hell, but d spirit to heaven . God's word is spiritual food to d spirit man of a born-again not born against a true born again loves God's word more seriously than physical food

And again the reason why you see christians commiting sins they are not supposed to commit is because they WERE NOT CONVICTED of their sins.they did not weep for their sins.IT was the pastor who Begged them to accept JESUS.They DID NOT BEG JESUS TO ACCEPT THEM.There was no weeping.how many times in church have u ever seen someone cry out"Jesus please have mercy on me"when pastor gives the altar call.they do it very formally.no sorrow for sin.know this UNTIL SIN IS BITTER,CHRIST WILL NEVER BE SWEET.

Dux01:
are u a christian?

What do you think?

Having glanced through all the comments, I feel indebted to add my view.
To start with, the term born again has its origin in the book of John 3vs1-5. It signifies a new birth; one which is totally different, greater and life-giving than the initial birth. It is the very basis and foundation of Christianity. It gives a man membership to God's vineyard and kingdom. A born again Christian is one who has confessed Jesus as His/Her Lord and savior (Romans 10 vs 9-11). One who has totally surrendered to the will of his saviour and new master; Jesus Christ. One who no longer fulfils the desires of the flesh (Romans 8 vs .
NOTE
1. A person may have being born again and yet struggle with sin if he/she lacks proper nourishment, knowledge and the grace to carry on. And as a result, backslide amd return to his/her vomit.
2. Many are so vibrant, religious and hard working today but are yet to be born again.
3. There is difference between a born again christian, a growing christian (after being born) and a matured christian. A Christian may be born again and not grow and as a result, he/she may die. A christian may be born again and be growing but not yet matured. And lastly a Christian may have undergone the three steps.
4. A person must always remember that after birth, he or she is a new creature which must grow each day to avoid stagnancy and extinct. Let me ask you my reader, if u are truly born again, are you growing, stagnant or dead?

NOW TO THEIR IDENTIFICATION
1. Be not deceived, their outer appearance, willingness, zealousness and eagerness to do God's work and position in the church has nothing to do with being born again. It is very difficult to discern them. First and foremost, you will need a spirit of discernment in order to discern the actual spirit that operates through them. Peter used that in Acts 5. A person who lacks the spirit of discernment would be easily deceived by the amount Anania and Saffira brought to the house of God. They will think they have great passion to serve God and therefore they are truly born again. But alas they are not. Your close observation may not work here, but spirit of discernment would work. Paul also used the spirit of discernment in Act 16vs16-18

2. They will focus on heavenly things and not wordly things. They will always want to be fruitful in order to expand God's kingdom and hence a great reward in heaven. They will no longer live the formal life of their old self. They will become new in their actions, speeches, behaviour, relationship, and so on.

3. They will portray Christ-like characters. The things you would see in them would reveal Christ. They will be small-Christs.

Lastly, judge not anyone. Underrate no one. And do not pit ur trust in any man. Man may fail you (even the true born agains), that doesn't mean they are not born again. Men fail only God do not. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you and u will be able to discern who the true Christians are. The Mr and Miss "Small Christ" to you may be the Mr and Miss "Ahab and Jezebel" to others who knows them better and closer than u do.

Love your neighbour, Keep up your faith in Christ, be mot weary by the situations of things in christiandom nowadays. And always remember there still exist true born again christians (Romans 11 vs 4).

Remain blessed.

well i don't think you know Totally what "the things of this world" mean because if you knew you would also know that very,very,few christians have given up the things of this world and so not many christians are born again by what you said.

Question for the gods. My take; you can't. Just be one instead.

Vikky014:

hehe, jus kidding you. Only God can open ones eyes to see them.

do you also know the reason why people get born again formally and by signing a card and not in their heart is because the convicting power of the Holy Spirit is not there.And a lot of people's heart are hardened.and ONLY God can soften a hardened heart.when there is a sin that you can't give up it means that the sin might have bewitched and hardened the heart.And sadly very few pastors carry enough of the power of the Holy Spirit when they preach the gospel to unbelievers.read the way the apostles preached.their hearers heart were pricked.

Have you considered the fact that she was crying because she was sorry for committing sin.

Judge not.
