Bible Question: Every so often one hears the term "born-again Christian" even on news broadcasts. Isn't "born-again Christian" a redundancy? Aren't all Christians, by definition, born again? |
Bible Answer: Good question. Yes and no. Yes, in that you are correct. No, in that sometimes it is necessary to clarify what, to some may not be as obvious as it is to others. However... Are all Christians born again? If they believe in Christ, some call them Christians. That doesn’t mean that they have accepted Him as their Lord and Savior. . George |
