How do you know if you are born again – To be born again or a Christian is more than just saying a prayer. It is full surrender to Jesus. It is an inner transformation – a spiritual heart transplant by the Holy Spirit. When you are born again you have a desire to follow God and to stop sinning! Yes, Christians still sin at times, but we feel bad and repent when we do. God gives us the power of his Holy Spirit to live a victorious life. In the Bible, baptism is seen as a way of declaring that Jesus is now Lord of your life. Jesus expects all his followers to be baptized. It is not optional. Baptism doesn’t save us, but it is pledging allegiance to Jesus above all other authorities and relationships.
