If any man believes in Him as the Son of God he is a new creation. Tell me what else the criteria might be. Do you have to cry and gnash teeth? There is this shtick that you have to have this overwhelming emotional breakdown. That is nowhere in the Bible. Just believe abd go on with your life.It is about grace— not legalism.
It’s also not about Jesus being your “homeboy” and someone you “hang with”. Simply knowing Jesus is not enough. He has to know YOU.
