Born again is a term used primarily in the Fundamentalist, Evangelical, and Pentecostal branches of Protestant Christianity, where it is associated with salvation, conversion and spiritual rebirth. Outside of these circles, the term is often applied by extension to other phenomena, including a transcending personal experience or the experience of being spiritually reborn as a "new" human being.
Christian concepts To be born again in Christianity is synonymous with spiritual rebirth and, in many denominational traditions, salvation. The term is used somewhat differently in different Christian traditions. Most Christian denominations hold that a person must be born again in some sense in order to be a Christian, and thus that all who are true Christians are in fact born again, whether they describe themselves as such or not. The Roman Catholic church, for example, considers that "Baptism is ... the sacrament by which we are born again of water and the Holy Ghost." [1], though the term is not frequently used by Catholics. This is also the belief held by Eastern Christianity, Anglicanism, and Lutheranism, among other Christian traditions. However, the term itself is most frequently used by Fundamentalist, Pentecostal, and Evangelical Protestants, where it is often associated with an intense conversion experience and an encounter of the individual with the power of God. Many Christians who are "born again" in this sense deny that those without such an experience are true Christians.
The idea of being born again carries with it the theological idea that a Christian is a new creation, given a fresh start by the action of God, freed from a sinful past life and able to begin a new life in relationship with Christ via the Holy Spirit. John Wesley and Christians associated with early Methodism referred to the born again experience as "the New Birth".
In recent history, born again is a term that has been associated with evangelical renewal since the late 1960s, first in the United States and then later around the world. Associated perhaps initially with Jesus People and the Christian counterculture, born again came to refer to an intense conversion experience, and was increasingly used as a term to identify devout believers.
I'd rather have macaroni and cheeze... People think i'm crazy but i'm in demand... Do you want me crucified for my profanity.. Who knows the answer, is it friends or is it foe... Dont ask any questions there are things that you should'nt know... Hiding in shadows, living in a lunar spell, I found my heaven's spewing from the mouth of hell... I was'nt born with enough middle fingers, I'd live and die for our music... I shouldn't worry because we're playing for ourselves... If people dont like it... fuck'em! ... You're a drum and were gonna pound it... My thinking is derailed, I'm tied up to the tracks... I hit the road.. to i don't know to look for tough shit street... If it looks good you'll see it... If it sounds good you'll hear it... But if its real you'll feel it... You get what you put in and people get what they deserve. I changed by not changing at all... Give me the strength to hold my head up... to spit back in yheir face... Isn't strange that as soon as you're born your dying.... fuck that shit... fuck'em all....
