To: Prophet in the wilderness; All
Born Again is an effective marketing slogan or catch phrase but has little basis in Scriptural fact. Oh, that's Scriptural fact in original text, not translation. Interpretation through the prism of agenda has done a great disservice to a pretty basic set of instructions.
Even the motto "Born Again" undercuts the message of the Jesus Christ, "The spirit of the law, not the word.". Far too many people forget that was basis for mocking the Pharisees. I remember something about healing someone on the Sabbath.

I don't know about the MOBO JUMBO you are teaching, but, here is the TRUTH... read it, and get saved.

John chapter 3 verses 1-8.

1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
