Zigzangle,
I am sorry but to me this is an example, striking in fact, of the dangers of fundamentalism. For anyone as a 'kid' to have the belief that they are 'born again' in the Christian sense and meaning is most probably largely delusional. Very few Christians, IMO, are genuinely born again. Fundamental churches errantly appropriate the term 'born again' without any genuine experience of achieving it. In common spiritual terms it is akin to being enlightened. This comes only via the Holy Spirit and not by memorization of the Bible.
