Re: I am born again....edited: replaced urls

The very foundation of being born again is the belief that Jesus is the ONLY SON of God and that He is the ONLY way. Being born again means that you have accepted Christ as your personal savior and through Him you will have eternal life in heaven.

I don't think Christianity has a monopoly over the idea or the phrase 'born again'. There are other religions, other paths, that talk about the same phenomenon using different terminology.

"Jesus said, "Except man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God " ( St. John 3-3) and Jesus added : "Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again". ( St. John 3-7).

The closest word in Hinduism to what Jesus said is Dwija. The actual meaning of Dwija is "Twice Born". Who is a Dwija (Twice Born)? .....A Brahmin.
Who is a Brahmin?.... He or she who realizes Brahman. What is Brahman?...That which is infinite...God

So in a nutshell:
He who realizes God is a “twice born” or He who is a “twice born” automatically will realize God.
According to Hinduism, unless there is an absolute change in consciousness and absolute self purification, nobody can achieve God realization. Without complete change of consciousness, it is impossible to realize God and vice versa." http://amiahindu.rediffiland.com/blogs/2008/07/17/Hindu-Born-Again-or-Dwija-T...

Zen also uses a Japanese term, satori, which means taste of enlightenment to describe the same thing. With Zen and Buddhism there is no belief in a God.

Still there are others that have come to experience such changes in consciousness through near death experiences.
