It is possible, although when you are truly born again, God gives you a new nature.  So you don't feel the same way about sin as you did before.  II Cor. 5:17

I became a born again Christian the day Jesus saved my soul. He put a new song in my heart, and gave me something to live for. I want to live my life pleasing to Him. He made me a new person. I no longer enjoy sin, or being around it. I want to go out and tell others how to be saved. God gave me peace, joy, and love in my heart. He is the one i live for, and I put my faith and trust in Him. I seek God for the will of my life. He has used be in many ways, and I Love Him, and thank Him, for everything.

Through Jesus Christ- He is the only, way, truth and life and nobody comes to the Father but through Him -John 14:6\n\nThat is to be born again in the Spirit of God- to believe in what Jesus did for you on the cross- that he died and rose again- and those who believe in Him, repenting of sin are given eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven- not to mention a wonderful relationship with Jesus Christ. One must believe in Jesus Christ-\n\nJohn 3:3 "Unless you are born again, you cannot enter the kingdom of God"

My life born-again has been just that...born again!!!  I am a whole new creation through Christ. With Christ  I am complete, fulfilled, whole and humble.  Life with Him is serene, wonderful, joyous, favored, amazing, miraculous, saved, redeemed, blessed, honored, and filled with grace.  I floundered all my life trying to fit in, work it out, make it last, trying new schemes, conniving fruitless plans to  be better, do better, have better, and never got anywhere but TIRED and wore out..  Thank God He is rest and peace..  Thank God His love is complete.  Thank God I found my place and that is with Him!   No, my life is so, so so, so far from perfect but my worst day with Him is better plus infinity without Him. we will never have words to express that love but I'm gonna keep on trying by singing His praises everyday,!! HE IS WORTHY!!!

A born-again Christian is someone who has committed his life to God in more than just a nominal fashion: he/she has believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, has asked and trusted in Him for forgiveness of his sins (with the blood He shed as absolution/substitution for that deserved as payment for our sins), and now lives a life as a new person. Only Christ lives in the new, 'born-again' person-- not the old person, now 'dead' to sin and a sinful life.\nI have heard another good definition of this term, put succinctly: Rather than just a 'religion,' a born-again person has a RELATIONSHIP with Jesus.\n\n'Baptist' is the name of a denomination of the Christian church that emphasizes baptism and evangelism. They believe in the above Biblical requirements for salvation or being born again, but the term 'Baptist' refers to a denomination, not a belief principle, or even a religion.\n\nThe Bible, which Christians have practical and historical reasons to believe is the inspired word of God, teaches us that God is a Spirit, and must be worshipped in spirit and in truth. The Son part of God received an identifiable, but 'glorified' and perfected body after His ascension; how spirit-like it is remains to be seen.\n\nOne note of interest to me: One of the Scriptural names of God is El Shaddai, which means the Many-breasted One. This describes His all-sufficient attributes, but also suggests (as do some descriptions of the Holy Spirit) maternal, nurturing qualities.

I don't agree with the idea of original sin.  \n\nWe are all born into a world where sin exists and I think that's what David means in the psalms when He said, "In sin my mother conceived me."  I don't think he was illegitimate, but he was conceived and born into a sinful world.\n\nBabies are born sinless.  That's why Jesus said, " “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me."  Matthew 18:3-5\n\n“Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 19:14

no,this is totally a spiritual rebirth in confessing Jesus as lord of all.all your past sins are washed away  in baptism of the holy spirit.it is kinda a confession in some religions or a cleansing in others.

Becoming "born again" is necessary for one to be resurrected to heavenly life. Only 144,000 humans have the heavenly hope, so the vast majority of Jehovah's Witnesses are not "born again", although some are.\n\nNote that Jesus described this heavenly group as a "little flock" compared with the much larger group of "other sheep" with the hope to live forever on a restored paradise earth.\n\n(Luke 12:32) “Have no fear, little flock, because your Father has approved of giving you the kingdom\n\n(John 10:16) “And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.

The expression "being born again" comes from Jesus' own mouth.\n\nJohn 3,3\n\nJesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.\n\nWhen we accept Jesus as the sacrifice for our sins, our spirit is renewed or reborn. Our body is still the same but we receive a new 'heart'.\nI have experienced this myself when I cried out to God one night in despair. I literally became a new person over night!

I don't believe a person is born gay or lesbian.  I believe it is a choice.\n\nSecondly, yes.  If that person asked for forgiveness, repented and changed his/her life according to God's will, then he will be forgiven by God.

Yes and No, Yes in away to be Obdient to God, and No,. because faith in Jesus Christ alone, having a personal relationship with, and loving thigh neighboor as thyself is key, but it is recommnded to show your obedience to God, and to show the others that you are born again..\n\nWhy it is not neccesary to be Physically baptized, it is a symbolic reflection, of being born again, washing away your old life and becoming a new person..\n\nTo be baptized is to publicly acknowledge one's faith in Christ as Savior and Lord by being immersed in water (or in some instances, by having water placed on the head). Since acceptance with God is based solely on trust in the person of Christ who died for our sins and rose from the dead, water baptism is only a sign or outward indication of one's faith. It is not necessary for salvation (I Corinthians 1:10-18; 15:1-4). ...\n\n\nmore\n\nMany churches teach that baptism is an absolute prerequisite for salvation. This position is theologically called "baptismal regeneration" because it holds that one is only "regenerated" when a person is baptized. Salvation is described as having two stages. One where a person believes and puts his faith in Jesus Christ for his salvation and the second stage of being baptized. \n\n      There are several passages baptismal regenerationists use in an "attempt" to substantiate their teaching. Acts 2:38, is used as the classic proof text used present this view. In our English Bibles the passage says to the Jews at Pentecost, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins. . . ." Another "proof text" used is John 3:5 where Jesus said, "no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit" and they conclude the water refers to baptism. In Acts 22:16, Ananias told Saul, after his conversion, to "get up, be baptized and wash your sins away. . . ." Many interpret Peter's statement in 1 Peter 3:20-21, that the manner in which Noah's ark saved his family "through water" is a symbol of the "baptism that now saves you." They state that Paul teaches baptism as necessary for salvation when he states in Romans, "all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death..." (Rom. 6:3-4; Gal 3:27; Titus 3:5). Groups that teach this include the Catholics, Seventh Day Adventists, many Pentecostal groups including the United Pentecostal Church, and most of the cults including the Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses (Russelites), Christ of Christ (Cambellites ). \n\n      Baptism clearly is commanded by God for those who have believed and been saved. There is no question that baptism is an important act of obedience of the one who has believed in Jesus Christ and received forgiveness of sin and eternal life. However, baptism as presented in the New Testament always follows belief and never is the basis for receiving salvation. Baptism in the Scriptures was part of one's outward public profession of belief in Jesus Christ as one's Savior and it initiated one into the local body of believers. Although these verses seem to teach that baptism is necessary for salvation an exegetical study will show that these interpretations are in error and that the Bible does not teach that salvation is contingent on baptism.

when you got born again, it was the real you (your spirit) that got saved...not your mind,will,emotions and not your body....so you will tend to gravitate back to the old you unless you renew your mind with the Word of God....get into a good Bible based church (i suggest you stay away from denominational churches) and begin a DAILY Bible study/prayer time. get up early if you have to, it is very, very important.    go to rhema.org , there you will find a link to search for a church in your area.....God Bless.

My Friend: I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die? \n\nGod says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Ye must be born again.” \n\nIn the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You can be saved today. How? \n\nFirst, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). \n\nBecause you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. “For the wages [payment] of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell. \n\n“ . . . it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). \n\nBut God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. “ . . . He hath made Him [Jesus, Who knew no sin] to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). \n\nJesus had to shed His blood and die. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood” (Lev. 17:11). “ . . . without shedding of blood is no remission [pardon]” (Hebrews 9:22). \n\n“ . . . God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). \n\nAlthough we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie. \n\nMy friend, “God . . . commandeth all men everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30). This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross. \n\nIn Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: “ . . . ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved . . . .’ ” \n\nSimply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Savior. \n\n“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12). \n\n“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13). \n\nWhosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved. \n\nSurely, you realize you are a sinner. Right now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer. \n\nIn Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed: “God be merciful to me a sinner.” Just pray: “Oh God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen.” \n\nJust take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it! \n\nGod’s simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith. \n\nYou say, “Surely, it cannot be that simple.” Yes, that simple! It is scriptural. It is God’s plan. My friend, believe on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today. \n\nIf His plan is not perfectly clear, read this tract over and over, without laying it down, until you understa

According to the Bible, a follower of Christ does not sin and cannot sin:\n\n1 John 5:18  We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him.\n\n1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.\n\nRomans 8:8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.\n\nSo, if you're sinning, you are not born of God and you cannot please God. A Christian should never, ever sin. I mean, don't they have the Sacred Spook guiding them and telling them what to do? I guess they just don't pay attention, or the Spook is sleeping on the job--or they aren't really born of God.

By your testimony(what you have spoken) I refuse to believe that you are really born again as you say. Born again christians are filled with the holy spirit and do not get drunk with alcohol.\n Ephesians 5:18\n18Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.\n In addition, I advise you to tell your born again christian friends what you are going to offer them, before that day. If they  are really born again(unlike you) then they will definately do what is right(turn down your invitation) and start praying and interceeding for you.

God will forgive if you truly repent for what you've done. True repenence means you agree with God that your sin was wrong and you turn from and forsake that sin. As long as we are in this world we will have a sin nature. Being saved doesn't mean that you won't sin. it just means you are forgiven through the blood of Jesus. But sin does have a consequence. Be sure God is not mocked for whatever a man soweth that he shall also reap. You cannot play around and fool God. He is omnipresent, and omniscient. He knows who is truly sincere and who is not. If you are a true born again Christian and have accepted Jesus as you Savior, then you are adopted into the family of God. You are then His child. Make no mistake...just as sure as an earthly Father corrects his children, even so does you Heavenly Father. You do not want to take God lightly.
