Are You Born Again?
Is being “Born Again” all about accepting Jesus as “PERSONAL LORD AND
SAVIOR”?
Definitely NO. Jesus himself said that being “born again” means being born of Water and Spirit. There is nowhere in the Bible that Jesus nor His disciples have taught about “accepting Jesus as your PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR”. That teaching is UNBIBLICAL and purely PROTESTANT TRADITION.
What does it mean to be BORN AGAIN?
Being “born again” is all about being BAPTIZED in Christ’s ONE TRUE CHURCH, His Body. Every time that the Apostles teach in the beginning of Christianity, they always tell the people that, one must be “baptized for the remission of sins” (Acts 2:38) to be saved.
How many “CHURCHES” should there be? “There is ONE BODY and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your call ing, one Lord, ONE FAITH, one baptism” (Eph. 4:4-5 NRSVCE)
Paul emphasized that there is only ONE BODY which is THE CHURCH of Jesus Christ (Romans 12:5,1 Corinthians 12:12–27, Ephesians 3:6 and 5:23, Colossians 1:18 and Colossians 1:24 ) And that ONE BODY is the ONE CHURCH that stood up since the time of Christ until now. Not some random “church” founded by people who just read the bible at home.
WHICH CHURCH IS THE TRUE CHURCH? Let us check what history says:
“The Roman Catholic Church traces its history to Jesus Christ and the Apostles. Over the course of centuries it developed a highly sophisticated theolo gy and an elaborate organizational structure headed by the papacy, the oldest continuing absolute monar chy in the world.”
– Britannica Encyclopedia
“Roman Catholic Church – For the first thousand years after the death of Jesus Christ, all Christians were members of one religion. There were no separate sects or branches of Christi anity as there are today. The word Catholic means universal, all Christians for the first thousand years were members of the Catholic Church.”
– Young Student’s Encyclopedia
“The History of the Roman Catholic Church began in an upper room in Jerusalem almost 2000 years ago. About 120 persons gathered there. They were followers of Jesus Christ and they were awaiting in the Coming of the Holy Spirit. The Church may be described as the Society founded by Jesus Christ.”

Is your “church” proven historically? Or is it only founded by random people in the 1800’s to 2000’s and just named it after Jesus’ Name? DO NOT BE DECEIVED! ASK YOUR PASTOR OF YOUR HISTORY!
