1. Matt 5:20 Jesus is speaking " For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and pharises, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."
2. Matt 7:21 Jesus is speaking " Not everyone that said unto me,Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
3. Matt 12:36 Jesus is speaking "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgement. 37. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
4. Matt 16-21 Here we have a man that asks Jesus what good things he must do to have eternal life, Jesus tells him to follow the commandments.
5. Matt 24 12 & 13 Jesus is speaking " and because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, shall be saved."
6. Matt 25: 30 - 46 Here Jesus is saying that those who do not help those in need will go away into everlasting punishment.
7. Luke 4:4 And Jesus answered him,saying, " It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."
8. John 3:5-8 Here Jesus says that "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" This is true but not the only requirement. and like the wind, how can you tell you are born again? are you sure?
9. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ( To believe in Him means to obey Him )
10. John 5:28,29 Jesus is speaking " Marvel not at this : for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation."
11. John 6;53 - 58 Jesus says that unless you drink his blood and eat his flesh you have no life in you. Remember the Word became flesh,... After you read 53-58 read the rest of the story 59-67 Jesus was serious, He even ask his twelve deciples "Will you also go away?" Now in 1 Corinthians 10;16 St. Paul says "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of christ?" Here St. Paul is also serious because in 1 Corinthians 11;29-30 He says " For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep."
Jesus Christ is really present in the Holy Eucharist of the Holy Catholic Church . When I came to understand the full meaning of these scriptures in this no. 11 I ran back to the Holy Catholic Church.
12. St. Paul says in Philipians2:12 ....."work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" What does he mean by this?
13. In philipians 3:11 " If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead." St. Paul seams to confirm what our Lord Jesus said in no. 5 above " But he that shall endure unto the end shall be saved"
14. Colossians 1:23 St. Paul says "If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, ....."
15. 1 Thessalonians 5:8 "But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation." Noticed the word hope....hope of salvation
16. Hebrews 5;9 St Paul says "and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;"
17. 1 John 2:4 "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."
I'm sure there are plenty other examples but this should be enough.... in 1 John verse 3 " and hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments." Does your religion believe the above scriptures? Do not believe what others tell you about the Catholic Church. Study their teachings for yourself and see if they follow the scriptures. ( One note of caution, some things are hard to accept at first , such as the teaching on Mary, put this aside for now and see what else she teaches, an soon you will agree with me that The Catholic Church is the only church which truly believe the Bible)

I have to ask that you define what YOU think being "born again" means. I get the impression that you have a different understanding than that of the evangelical Christian.
