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.

Amen, that is a cult like form of humanism with all the self interpretation. Christ gave is the Bible, established his Church and established the Authority of the Church.
