LOL...If one is born of the womb one time and then born from above the 2nd time, Is he/she born again on the 2nd birth???

It’s not just stubbornness and stupidity playing its hand...There’s a motive for the rejection of ‘born again’...

.
Yes, like supporting the idea that salvation is purchased from the transubstantiation fairy!

I think one of them is so that Evangelicals can be mocked for calling themselves "born again". That seems to be a favorite of some here.

As I asked earlier, where's the difference really between being born "again" or born "from above"? Don't they BOTH indicate the same thing, that a REBIRTH has happened? The "old" man is dead to sin - crucified with Christ, the "new" man is alive unto righteousness, in newness of life?
