Original Message I believe Jesus Christ meant something completely different when he said:

'Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born again.'

MOst Christians feel that this occurs with baptism and committing one's self to repentance.

I take a more literal approach. I believe Christ wants those who seek him to be literally reborn into the Kingdom of Heaven, which is to be on Earth in the Millenium.

Most Christians get baptized and then act as if they've been huffing Ether for days, so that they can feel transformed and "Pure" which wears off in a few weeks or so, and they're right back to the douchebaggery they were at before they got baptized.

This misunderstood doctrine of being born again is unfortunate. The way it is understood now teaches Christians they can do certain things themselves and obtain salvation.
