Jesus called being a Christian being born
again while talking to a Pharisee named Nicodemus (see John 3:5–8). How we are born
again is explained for us in the Scriptures.

The
personal testimony of Christians tells us that some people can pinpoint the time
of their becoming a Christian to a specific time and place while others can only
tell generally the time in their life when they became Christian. There is no doubt
that there is an instant in which this event takes place (as we shall see in a later
Learning Activity), however, since an emotional experience can, but is not required
to be attached to this event, the person may not know the precise time the event
took place. How you experienced your conversion does not determine what kind of Christian
you are. The event takes place in the fourth dimension spirit realm and does not
necessitate a third dimensional emotional experience.
