A born again christian is one who has been baptised in water. You have to repent and ask god's forgiveness for all your sins and when you come out of the water you are then a born again christian..

it means that they are someone who thinks they will be or have been born again essentially. I could mean they died than thought they were born again or they turned over a new leaf

to be a "born again" Christian means that you have been saved, and your old self has died, and you have been born again as a new creation in Christ

usually if you are in a church that believes in god then u believe that the holy spirit is given to you as a language through god. then those that have the holy spirit are considered born-again (in a religious sense - a spiritual rebirth) u are now considered one of gods children and you are saved.

i know its confusing, i dont get it sorta either.
