I do not believe so. I believe more is required to be born again.

Psalm23 · Apr 18, 2024

From my perspective, it's not about a set words you pray that causes one to be born again. Jesus is the Savior. That prayer is an acknowledgement of one's faith in Jesus and asking him to be their Savior.

You need to believe them.

Tinkerpeach · Apr 18, 2024

You also need to attempt to lead a Christian life even though we all fail miserably at it.

It’s not a fire and forget prayer that automatically gives you admission into Heaven.

In fact there are no specific words you need to speak, Jesus will know your heart when you pray.

If person says those words, is sorry of his wrong doings, I believe it is possible he has already been born anew. If not, he would probably not say so.

My personal view is that this method would be just as effective as any other method.

I don't believe so.

I believe baptism is needful first, then a kind of ongoing repentance.

My view is that people enter into the kingdom of Jesus when they are filled with a desire to serve and obey him above all others, learning to live the way he says to live. It's a gift. I don't think that there's anything anyone can think, say or do, to buy their way in.

Christian theology is one thing. To me there's a different kind of being "born again" when the shell of the personal ego thins and cracks to the point where life takes a true spiritual turn. That's not a matter of rituals and words but of real opening to a spiritual dimension.

That looks very close to what I'm thinking.

My thinking is it's more useful to change from the mystical and express this in everyday nuts'n'bolts.

Most folks have complex belief systems that are held up by cherished convictions and elaborate logic structures. THAT'S whats needed to be thrown out. We come to the truth as a little child devoid of baggage. Hey, if it doesn't work you can always run back and pick up all that baggage but one does not come to the Lord w/ a stack of "yes-but's" ready to disagree & argue.

I agree. If a person is genuinely asking to enter the kingdom, they probably already have.

Darn it! I should have checked the section this was in. I was thinking we were kicking off an AiC sing-a-long.
