That's trickier.

I believe I've had what (self-described) "Born-again Christians" call a "born-again experience".

However, that isn't what I call it, because I think John 3 refers to baptism*. I call it "conversion of heart".

*There's an ambiguity in the Greek anyway; what people translate "born again" can just as easily be translated "born from above".
