John3:3"unless anyone is born again,he cannot see the kingdom of God". This concept is not just restricted to the anointed ones,it applies to all Christians.Everyone needs to be transformed from the 'old ways' of living to one that is led by the Holy Spirit at whatever levels that one is able to attain.

Christians are ALL anointed.
1 Corinthians 12:3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. NIV
So simple, isn't it?

Life is a constant cycle; much like that of a snake. They never stick to one set of skin, they are constantly casting away the past as a shell of their former existence.

Then I'm glad I'm Jewish. You only have to be born once to be accepted.

The parallels in religion never cease to amaze me.
"Even death is not to be feared by he who has lived wisely." Buddhism
"Death is merely the moving of one home to another. " Judaism
"There is no death. How can there be death if everything is part of God." Hinduism.

Nicodemus was also Jewish.
John 3:1 -2 There was a man of the Pharisee sect, Nicodemus, a prominent leader among the Jews. Late one night he visited Jesus and said, "Rabbi, we all know you're a teacher straight from God. No one could do all the God-pointing, God-revealing acts you do if God weren't in on it."
3 Jesus said, "You're absolutely right. Take it from me: Unless a person is born from above, it's not possible to see what I'm pointing to—to God's kingdom."
4 "How can anyone," said Nicodemus, "be born who has already been born and grown up? You can't re-enter your mother's womb and be born again. What are you saying with this 'born-from-above' talk?" MSG

If I get born again, can I have a new set of genes? The one's I have are really f**ked up, and I keep getting weird diseases. I'd like longer arms too. Long arms are so graceful, and while mine are a perfectly respectable length, I'd like to look more like a dancer. I mean, if I'm never gonna die, then I should like my arms!
