What is a True or born-again Christian?
Anyone can *say* that they are a Christian. A born-again Christian is someone who has submitted their soul to God, accepted Christ as Lord, and been filled with the Holy Spirit. This doesn’t make them instantly perfect, though some do experience radical changes in their life, but they should now be actively attempting to emulate Christ. After someone is born-again, they become spiritual infants. Unfortunately some people allowed themselves to stay that way, but that’s not the ideal. Christians grow spirituality at different rates, not always reflected by their physical age. There are some fifteen-year-olds who are more mature Christians than some sixty-year-olds. While the majority of Americans still identify themselves as Christians, not all of them are born-again. True spiritually mature Christians are rare, and even they still make mistakes. “To err is human, to forgive Divine.
