Born again is to be filled with the Holy Spirit a act of God and God alone. Those who God choose from before the foundation of the world will receive it at different times in their lives. Some from in the whom like John the Baptist, some at birth, some in their teens, 20s, 30s and so on and some at the last day on this here earth like the thief on the cross. Jesus being God in the flesh do not need to be born again. God bless you.
HERE IS THAT GOSPEL: 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" Question: Do you believe it?"
2 Corinthians 4:3 "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:" If you have a problem with these scriptures, It is with God for He wrote it, not me.
Jesus didn't have to be baptized either, but he did to fulfill scripture.
I would say the first born again Christians were the 11 Apostles after receiving the Holy Ghost.
To me "born again" is having the capabilities and mind of Christ. Having the Holy Spirit upon you, like the disciples, is one thing, but being permanently free from sin is another. The 11 disciples were sinners who enjoyed the Holy Spirit. They didn't stop sinning as I would come to expect after they succumb to a mortal death, then resurrected into everlasting life.
I would like to apologize to you for thinking you never post or reply to an salvation topic,
I stumbled on a thread where you gave great insight on the topic on several occasions, I never saw these!!
Again I sincerely apologize.

The cup is squeaky clean on the outside, but the inside is putrid.
2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 "But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Did you notice, you were chosen from the beginning, but you were called by Paul's Gospel? what Gospel were you called by?
That line you quoted by Paul is one of the things I explained earlier; that is, Paul sometimes injects some of his former religious practices in the gospel and it takes knowing God's word in depth to see it. God bless you
This being another subject in this thread. About how some seem to think the epistles of Paul are of some greater value or more special than any of the other books in the Holy Bible.
The writings, epistles, of Paul are important and unique. Though there are many people that pick and choose verses to try and fit their own narrative or belief. Also done with other Scriptures as stated by Peter.
I just want to quote two statements from the second epistle of Peter. Which someone had bad mouthed and called them some dirty name like they are not prophecy from God.
2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
Then Peter prophesying about people taking Paul's writings and twisting them. Which is happening before our eyes today.
2 Peter 3:15-16 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest(twist), as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
God Bless.
It's blockbuster news.
I very much liked this post of yours as I agree. As I enjoy the teachings of Paul there are a few "snares" as you called them. We should read the Word of the Lord, Holy Bible, as a whole and not think one prophet or apostle was better than the other. All unique members but of the one body of Christ. Be thankful for all of them.
One thing that was brought to my attention just recently. Paul stating in Galatians 5:14 "The law is fulfilled in one word, even this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self".
When the Lord was asked "which is the greatest commandment" in Matthew 22:36-40: Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Like you stated we should stay focused on the Lord and keep our attention on Him.
God Bless.
Judgement day of the world. No one country will be judged by itself.
The 5th trumpet marked by 9-11-01 is almost past. Waiting on Rev 6:14, Rev 6:12 and Malachi 4:5 to show. Our visitation is practically at the door. Jesus thief with his iron and clay northern army will simultaneously turn both lands into a desolate wilderness. No, not even the mighty US will have the strength to save Israel from their fate ( Luke 21:20-24). Anti-christ will be sitting in the temple, claiming he's God. The only enemy in sight will be his own fractured beast army. The 6th trumpet is going to be the greatest show on earth.
