To be Born Again has absolutely nothing to do with getting rid of Sin. When Jesus said to Nicodemus "you must be Born Again" Read the passage again.. Nicodemus was already converted. The way that people in the Old Testament recieved the initial conversion was to believe in the coming of the Messiah.. And Nicodemus says in that passage.."We are of the Messiah" meaning he was a converted person. He needed the Holy Spirit to see Jesus who standing right in front of his face. The same problem exist today that existed back then. The Holy Spirit as a second conversion is not practised today or back then.
Jesus was refering to the second conversion that is necessary, oh oh pardon me, MANDATORY if you want to become a true Christian. 99.9999 % of the christian churches today, teach that you received the Holy Spirit at your Initial conversion to Christ (or the so called born again experience that most christians talk about). This is a BLASPHEMY !!!!!!! The only difference between TRUE Christianity and ALL other religions (including so called christian denominations) is that GOD gives you the opportunity to examine HIS gift (CHRIST). No other religion allows that from their god. Think of it, does Islam offer you a period to examine Mohamed?? No!!! Does Buddha offer you a chance to examine him??? NO!!! Does Hinduism offer you a chance to examine HIM?? NO!!! For all these religions(and all christian denominations too) demand OBEDIENCE as soon as you convert. Only the true God gives you a chance to examine His gift (JESUS CHRST). After that examination, you can accept HIM or Reject HIM. Accepting HIM requires that you ASK, PRAY for the Holy Spirit and then BANG!!!!!!! It happens your SECOND CONVERSION!!!!!!! AND That is when you become BORN AGAIN!!!!
May you ask God for the Holy Spirit to bring Peace and Love and meaning to your so called christian life.
