semantics and thats all it is. lets have all the christians fighting each other so we can pave the way for islam to take over, that will solve the born again question once and for all.

And that's the problem with folks interpreting the Bible any way they see fit. The term "born again" in Evangelical circles has nothing to with traditional Baptism (i.e. being born again into the light of the Church), but "I once lived a bad life, and now I need to go to Church and repent." Just ignore these folks.

It's been a long long time since I've seen a Catholic baptism but I've seen a few Orthodox ones, and it is the most true representation of the biblical 'born again' I've seen, I suspect the catholic baptism doesn't deviate in that respect.

The the notion of some separate 'born again' is yet another sill baseless protestant heresy based on semantics in their English translation of the orginal greek on which the apostolic church based all the sacrements.
