Nice try at subtlety but it doesn’t work. I can assure you that in every true believers life there is that “experience” of a changed heart. It’s when the knowledge moves from the head to the heart. If you haven’t “experienced” it I pray you will. The “outward” keeping of rituals does NOT make one a true member of Christ’s body.

That's why the practice of infant baptism doesn't work.

The heart experiences many things on the emotional side and you will never convince me the believers do not have apposing feelings or aversions toward the will of God. Does that make them not born again?
