Dansii sunt botezati ca adulti, sau rebotezati (daca au fost in copilarie), conform idee ca botezul trebuie sa fie o optiune matura, constienta etc.

Baptist is a term describing individuals belonging to a Baptist church or a Baptist denomination. The name comes from the conviction that followers of Jesus Christ are commanded to be immersed in water as a public display of their faith, and thus most adherents reject infant baptism.

The Roman Catholic Church associates "being born again" with baptism. It holds that "Baptism is ... the sacrament by which we are born again of water and the Holy Ghost."[2] This is also a belief held by Eastern Christianity, Anglicanism, and Lutheranism, among other Christian traditions.

dar mai departe scrie:

Some Evangelical, Fundamentalist, and Pentecostal Christians associate "being born again" with a conversion experience that involves a personal, political, and sometimes intense, encounter of the individual with the power of God, as if the person has "attained" salvation.

In Christianity, the term born again or regenerated is synonymous with spiritual rebirth — salvation. The term is most frequently used by the Evangelical, Fundamentalist, Pentecostal, and some Mainline branches of Protestant Christianity. It is sometimes associated with non-denominational individuals, groups and/or churches.[1]

Inteleg astfel ca a plecat de la baptism, dar in prezent este vorba de un CONCEPT teologic, nu de o SECTA anume. Nu e vorba neaparat de un botez (termenul s-a extins), ci de un oarecare ritual care aduce renasterea si "salvarea".

Poate ar trebui tradus "CRESTIN RENASCUT"

Sunt de acord cu termenul cult propus de Cris: Biserica Crestina Baptista - Cult neoprotestant (evanghelic) (Multumesc, Cris!)

Recent social usage
In recent history, born again is a term that has been associated with evangelical renewal since the late 1960s, first in the United States and then later around the world. Associated perhaps initially with Jesus People and the Christian counterculture, born again came to refer to an intense conversion experience, and was increasingly used as a term to identify devout believers. By the mid 1970s, born again Christians were increasingly referred to in the mainstream media as part of the Born Again Movement. Based on most exit polls of the 2004 presidential election, born again Christians were responsible for the re-election of George W. Bush.

In 1976 a book titled Born Again was published by Watergate conspirator and convicted felon Charles Colson. It describes his path to faith in conjunction with his criminal imprisonment and played a significant role in solidifying "Born Again" identity as a cultural construct in the U.S. The term was sufficiently prevalent that during the year's Presidential campaign Jimmy Carter described himself as born again, notably in the first Playboy magazine interview of a U.S. Presidential candidate. Modern musicians Mark Farner, Dan Peek, Donna Summer, Bob Dylan.[4], Kerry Livgren, Dave Hope, Dave Mustaine, Nicko McBrain, Roger McGuinn, Johnny Cash, Brian Welch, Keith Farley and Alice Cooper were artists whose born again conversions had a significant impact on modern culture. President George W. Bush, Duane Chapman and Mr. T. are also mentioned as being born again.

Reborn Christians are also often referred to as "New Born Christians."

Nu aş traduce asta prin denumirea unui cult religios sau altul, fiindcă naşterea din nou e o teorie care apare la mai multe culte religioase creştine, mai ales la cele protestante şi neo-protestante, dar nu numai. În catolicism şi ortodoxie se spune că această naştere din nou este prin botez. În diversele culte protestante şi neoprotestante, nu este suficient doar botezul, ci experienţa personală, trăirea individuală autentică nouă, adică o schimbare totală faţă de ce a fost până atunci persoana în cauză:

"O viata noua

Omul care accepta lucrarea mantuitoare a lui Isus Hristos si care este ***nascut din nou***, este un urmas al Lui, un crestin. El traieste o viata noua deoarece are o natura noua, radical diferita de cea din trecut, el este un om nou (Coloseni 3.9,10). Chipul omului nou este asemenea Celui care l-a facut, de aceea el nu mai traieste ca inainte, nu mai gaseste placere in lucrurile care-i placeau inainte (lucrurile lumii) si nu se simte bine in anturajul oamenilor pacatosi. Gandirea sa, mentalitatea veche, pacatoasa este schimbata cu una noua, divina, duhovniceasca."

Şi un site ortodox, cică:

"Totusi, a fi ***nascut din nou*** nu inseamna a fi "reincarnat"; mai mult decat atat, putin mai departe, se explica faptul ca omul trebuie "sa se nasca din apa si din duh" (Ioan 3,5). Cuvantul "din nou" din originalul grecesc inseamna si "de sus". ***Nasterea din nou*** nu are semnificatia de nastere in sens biologic: "Cum poate omul sa se nasca, fiind batran? Oare, poate sa intre a doua oara in pantecele mamei sale si sa se nasca?" (Ioan 3, 4). Pe de alta parte, in Noul Testament, Ioan Botezatorul este desemnat ca o reincarnare a profetului Ilie, inclusiv Iisus fiind intrebat daca nu cumva este Ilie (Luca 1,17; Marcu 6, 14-15; Matei 16, 13-14)."

Încă un site ortodox care zice de naşterea din nou: "Copiii trebuie sa fie botezati:
- pentru ca au pacatul stramosesc, de care nu se pot curati decat prin botez; pentru ca fara ***nasterea din nou, prin botez***, nu se poate intra in Biserica, dupa cuvantul Domnului: ,,De nu se va naste cineva din apa si din Duh, nu va putea sa intre in Imparatia lui Dumnezeu" (loan 3, 5)..."
