    Born again is not a religion. Religion separates people. Some religion doesnt welcome other religions while born again people are always delighted to welcome others regardless of who they are, what they were, what religion, poor, rich, or bsag kinsa pa na. Jesus didnt have a religion. As well as his disciples. He did not teach and preach any religion. Salvation is only by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. ☺️
    Sorry, it sound so good but this is misguided. If you're a Christian then you have a religion. If you have a set of belief, rules, and rituals, you have a religion.

    Yes. But fellowship is not synonymous to religion.

    Religion: From the french word Religio wc means a bond or obligation or to bind. In Meriam, a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices.

    Fellowship: friendly association, especially with people who share one's interests.

    Paul encouraged the BELIEVERS to have FELLOWSHIP OR FRIENDLY ASSOCIATION in Christ. To pray for each other, rebuke one another and to strengthen each other. The fellowship in this context means to cultivate friendship among fellow believers.

    Jesus did not teach any system. He preached the truth to everyone including tax collectors, thieves, prostitutes.

    Hope i was able to answer your question sir.

    Religion can be defined and translated widely. It came from the latin word religio wc means to bind, or obligation. But if thats your say sir, go for it.

    Personally, in contrary, what I know about being born again is love, forgiveness and freewill. No rituals and rules. Jesus knew Jude and Peter were gonna betray him but didnt confront nor blame them. I believe when we truly experience God's love and realize how sinner we all are, our hearts transform. Genuinely. And everything else follows. Again, no rules, no rituals.

    Yes its not synonymous but Churches exist through a fellowship and Churches are part of the Religion. Apostle Paul planted christian churches to have a fellowship until such time it becomes a Religion considered as Christianity. I think Religion is not really an issue, its just the people had its issue towards the act of humanity .hihihi well sa time pud ni Jesus dili man na ang iyang purpose magbuhat og Church. ang iya is ang pagluwas nato og ang freedom nato sa Law. and also kato nasangyawan ni Jesus mangita man jud sila og fellowship kay lisod pud og sila2x ra unsaon nila pagkadasig diba mao niuban sila sa panon ni Jesus. and bisan man cguro unsa nga grupo bisan dili religious need jud na og set of rules and regulation aron matuhay inyong grupo..mao moingon ko dili ang Religion ang problema its just ang tao mismo ang naay issue.. hehehehe! di na diay ka ganahan mo fellowship ron maam?

    Baptism is a ritual. Are you not baptized? I have not known a Christian who refuse to be baptized, perhaps you're first? No rules? Are you sure? so it's ok to be act like the world, speak like the world, and think like the world? Is it ok to live a sinful life? You probably realized by now why I said you're misguided. It's ok I've been there.

    Oh by the way, free will? The only contribution by our will is the sin that makes the cross necessary.

    Ang paraan ba para maligtas ay ang pagtanggap kay Kristo bilang Panginoon at sariling Tagapagligtas? Ang kaligtasan ba ay hindi na maiwawala? Totoo ba ang paniniwala ng mga Born Again na “Once Saved Always Saved”? Kailangan ba ang pag-anib sa Iglesia upang maligtas?

    Some denomination may still be practicing these rituals like the communion, which Jesus specifically told his disciples to do this in memory of him.
    Although some has misunderstood this simple ritual by believing in the transubstantiation doctrine which is completely an corrupt version of the communion.
    Sacrificial and ceremonial laws are unecessary in the new covenant since the sacrificial laws are a shadow which is being fullfilled in the cross while the ceremonial laws like the santuary service is fullfiled by Jesus as our high priest in the heavenly sanctuary.

    What seems quite unsettling is when you mention no rules:
    The Bible gave us the 10 commandments these are laws a higher form of rules.

    If we mindlessly confirm to the principle of love by discarding biblical law/rules then we don't know who you are loving or following we could be following a false Christ.

    Quotes from the satanic Bible about mindless love:
    The law of Thelema is "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the law, love under will."

    We have a guide which is the bible and we ought not to disregard the law and the commandments.
    "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."
