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

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?

Exactly...And one of them posted from a bible that uses the word 'anew'...Anything but 'born again'...

Apparently they don't see it as a 'new birth'...They don't seem to get the concept of the old man vs. the new man...They get wet, they're born again...
