are NOT Christians. Not being critical, seriously. Read the next quote.

Verse 7, Jesus said, “ Ye must be born again”

+/- 2000 years ago. Don’t believe me. Believe Jesus.

So you are saying that one who was brought up in the faith and never suffered from disbelief can not be saved?

If God has been in one's heart through out conscious memory, how can one experience this momentous instant of acceptance which is described as being born again?

No, I do not think I know any converts. They all were born and raised in their faith.

People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
