Good question. You are born again when the you respond to the faith that the Holy Spirit plants in you when you hear the gospel message. You receive the gospel into your being as Truth, and Holy Spirit will work in you the repentance from sin. Ideally, one would be baptized shortly after receiving the gospel in the name of the Father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. This is the teaching of the New Testament church, but this was not without exceptions. Paul was born again when he encountered Christ on the road to Damascus. He received the Holy Spirit when Ananias laid hands on him and prayed for Him, and Ananias baptized Paul in water subsequently. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is our guarantee that we have been saved in and through Jesus Christ. Baptism in water is our public confession that we have received salvation in Jesus.
Some people have a definitive conversion experience or dramatic. Others like me, not so. I was baptized as an infant and raised by believing parents, so I have always believed in Jesus as far back as I can remember. As I grew older, I also grew in faith and understanding of God and his salvic work in me. When I was in college, I chose to be baptized again because I understood it as a profession of faith already resident in me. But if I hadn't been rebaptized, I believe that my first baptism was within God's will as well. There is nothing in Scripture that says we can only be baptized once.
So, I am wondering, have you been saved? Do you believe that Jesus has saved you from sin, death, hell, and the evil one? Do you know that you have the Holy Spirit in you? You do if you are a believer. He lives in you when you first believe. In fact the Holy Spirit does in you all that is needed to be saved. He regenerates you. He brings you the gospel for you to hear or read. He provides grace to save you. This grace implants faith in you so you can believe. He comes into you to dwell when you believe. He forgives all of your sins.
GRACE_ambassador {ChrisE} Immediate spiritual birth - In Reply on Revelation 21 - 3 years ago
Precious friend, Louie, we are "born from the Spirit Above" upon "hearing The Word Of Truth, The Gospel Of GRACE, and "believing It With All of our heart!" Immediately!!
Based on scripture spoken by Jesus, it happens when you accept and believe that Jesus is your Savior, receive water baptism, and then receive God's Holy Spirit. = Born Again. Please see scripture below:
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Hi louie If you confess with your heart innermost part of your being it is not mental accent its not like going to get a glass of water its more like digging the well to get to the water needed and you can't live anymore if you don't do this and really believe then you confess Romans 10:9+10 and then as you reach out the father works within and trust me you will know because he will make it known to you.
Hello Louie, A born again brother or sister will know peace and rest. The desire to share this peace and rest with others will be abundant. You will know the presence of this peace by the Holy Ghost dwelling within you, leading you from the soul outwards in your walk of life. You will have love for God in his mercy for providing His Lamb. This same love will follow to all men. As God worked a work in you ne works a work in others. Your presence with the gift of God which is the Holy Ghost will witness to others that you have peace with God and man.
Brother Louie, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.
You are born again, by the WORD(S) of God becoming apart of YOU, being made ONE with the WORD(S) of God.
1 Peter 1:23 Being BORN AGAIN, not of corruptible seed, but if incorruptible (SEED, THE WORD), by the WORD(S) OF GOD, which liveth and abideth (IN YOU) for ever.
The Holy Spirit indwells you to accomplish this IN YOU. It takes YOUR LIFETIME.
Continue to study and always ask the Spirit to make known HIS words to you.
Time studying and asking, causes you to MATURE in the WORDS. When we (the SEED, THE WORD, YOU) are MATURE, God harvest the SEED (you depart this body of flesh). You have BECOME ONE (THE WORD, THE SEED), LIFE, TRUTH, THE WAY.
Amos 3:3 Can two (you and Christ, THE WORD) walk together (as ONE), except they (you and Christ, THE WORD) be agreed?
?

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Hope this helps you.
God Bless.
Also, this born again nature is lifetime.
