What does it mean to be "Born Again"? - Garner Ted Armstrong - December 1977

Garner Ted Armstrong

Millions upon millions of U.S. Evangelicals have always professed to have been "born again." But the "great awakening" in terms of the media's awareness of their numbers didn't take place until the election of a "born-again" President in 1976. That one event alone brought the whole movement out of the woodwork of religiosity and onto front-page prominence in the various vehicles of the modern news media. Then came Charles Colson's bestseller entitled Born Again. The former Nixon aide convincingly recounted that the whole Watergate experience finally resulted in his personal repentance and conversion to Christ. And now on the book market is another best-seller by a famous American evangelist telling everybody How To Be Born Again. Not taking anything away from the sincerity of anybody's claim to a "born-again" experience - do those two words really describe what actually happens to a person who is converted by Jesus Christ of Nazareth? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
