Well then, who certifies that you’re ‘born again, if Holy Jim Bakker (before he was indicted), or Saint Billy Graham (before he declared that there is freedom of religion in the Soviet Union) does not do it? You yourself? OK, fine, then I’m born again and I like the Catholic Church, and you can’t tell me that I’m not really ‘born again’!

Wow! Did I post something in which it implied I was passing judgment on you? I don't think so. If I did, please shoot me a note with my quote. Here is the best answer I can give you from John chapter 3:

8 The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

The Holy Spirit.

When He invades your life, you KNOW it.

There is no guessing. If you are wondering how you can tell if the Holy Spirit is in your life, there's really a pretty good chance that He's not.
