It matters little what various groups teach about being born again. The real test is what did the Apostles teach? The first sermon ever preached in the New Testament Church second chapter of Acts was the foundation.
Seeking souls asked what they MUST DO. Peter and the rest of the apostles had a sure word.
Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38
Odd that ministers of today would say something different.
