Good enough for heaven? Bad enought for...? Born again

[Stan]

So we are Good.. we are Bad..

But the real question is...

AND

BUT the simple phrase from Christ

You must be Born Again...

[archierieus]

Yes, indeed. A new life begins. From that beginning point, the new life needs to be nurtured, in order to grow. Study of the Word, prayer, making right choices, sharing one's faith. And, God gives the increase, grows the spiritual plant.

[Nicodema]

And from that point on you don't sin, or else ... what? What does that mean?

Does it mean you weren't really born again? If not, then where is the clear-cut difference between old life and new, if the new life also includes the propensity toward, and possibility of, sin?

Does it mean you have now forfeited this "new life" (spoiled it, ruined it) and are now lost forever?

If born again people can still sin -- and I have yet to meet anyone "born again" who does not -- what does that mean? Is it that no one is actually born again? If not, and if still sinning is/can be part of the "born again" life, WHERE, then, is it's "born-again"-ness????
