I have known many who believed this. While having no idea what the term actually meant, they had been told that “professing Jesus” was a kind of “new birth”—that they were in some mysterious way “born again.” It also became their Christian duty to bring others to this belief. I have been approached more than once and asked if I have been “born again.” I always answered no!
The popular concept of what it means to be “born again” is based largely on ignorance of God’s Word and outright silly reasoning. Yet the deception that this single misunderstanding presents is even more important when considering how many other true doctrines fall like dominoes in its wake. God’s purpose for man—that He is expanding His Family—the true gospel, most aspects of the kingdom of God, the meaning of being sons of God, character development, the pagan trinity doctrine, who is the antichrist, and more, become impossible to properly understand.
Almost none take the time to examine—or prove—what God’s Word says about this extremely important subject. If they did, they would be stunned—astonished—at what they found!
Most professing Christians believe that being “born again” occurs in this life upon “receiving Jesus.” But this is not what the Bible teaches. Being “born again” has nothing whatsoever to do with “professing Jesus,” “just believing in your heart,” “giving your heart to the Lord” or any other kind of religious experience. It does not happen at conversion. The Bible teaches that it happens long after this initial step in a new Christian’s life.
So few understand Jesus’ words: “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Reread and consider them carefully. Take note of what Christ says is at stake in just this single scripture. One’s ability to “see the kingdom of God” hinges solely on whether he is “born again.” Obviously, one had better understand the enormous importance of how and when people are born again!
Got milk?
So the RNTG really DID NOT "thoroughly research" anything, basing it all as was told them, in sharp contrast that any and all others that do not believe the same, base what is known soley by what they were told and then chastizing ANY who disagree. All this simply for the sole agenda that they MUST also, as their Christian duty, get others to believe the same BULLSHIT.
