I said that you, nor anyone else today, receives divinely inspired revelation from the Holy Spirit.
To be born again is to receive the indwelling Holy Spirit.
Born Again or Christian? Is there a difference and what is your biblical support ?

Yes we do, because we are Born Again of imperishable seed..that in itself is divine revelation, and I have posted scripture to prove this.....now please prove what you say is true...using Scripture?..thank you.
How did you receive the Holy Spirit...what is your testimony?....are you Born Again?
I don't think you are the sort of person that I should even give an answer to that question. And precisely which fruit, or lack thereof, are you looking for? What fruit have you that fits the scripture you quoted? Your egotism? Your self-righteousness?

No, being born again is not divine revelation.
No, there is no such scripture.
I did. That you lack the ability to know and understand the scripture I posted is not something that I can do anything about.
Given that you really do not understand even what it means to be born again, I will refrain from answering you on that.
God has already said we are Born Again of imperishable seed...if that’s not divine revelation then please explain what it means?
Or are are you just being a troll?...we are discussing Born Again.
You posted no scripture to state your case...what page is it on?
You have never given your testimony on how you were Born Again?
You have never answered any questions of a spiritual nature....so why are you here, as you are just trolling....nothing edifying coming out of your mouth?
Everything you have said on this thread is of a personal nature @JBO ?
We are discussing Born Again or Christian?
If you can’t discuss that please go away ...because you are adding nothing to the conversation.
OK, whatever.
I am curious. Since you said that you are not a Christian and this is the Christianity Board, why are you even here?
Not with you. You have no understanding of either. It is a worthless exercise.
Oh my goodness! You really have got it in for me haven't you. The fruit I speak of is the fruit produced by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. And we have been given the gift of discernment so that we can test the spirit. And as scripture says:
Matthew 7:20
Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
Meaning that as Christians, who are spiritually reborn, we are able to recognise others who are also born again and oppositely those who are not.
A thought just occurred to me, are you a Catholic who believes that infant baptism gave you born again status - I know that is what they believe.
I really don't want to get into a war of words with you or anybody, just have a friendly conversation.
I can honestly say, since I have joined this forum my faith and spiritual understanding has grown beyond my wildest dreams,imo.
I Praise God for this forum I have learnt so much and the admin team are the best out there..the patience of Job. praise God for them also. @Nancy @Rita @pompadour and all the others, these 3 I know more than the others.

I also feel that the forum, helps me grow and keeps me sharp. And make some really nice friends.
Have you not read Jesus words??
New International Version
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”
New Living Translation
Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
English Standard Version
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Berean Standard Bible
Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
King James Bible
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
I hope that at least one of these versions of Jesus Himself talking to Nicodemus, will stick with you.
We respect scripture back-up with our "opinions", your posts are not at all edifying or engaging. Please watch your words.
This is the best forum I have ever been on...the admin here know we are all a work in progress ...and there patience is outstanding..or maybe that should read Gods fruit “patience “ in them is outstanding..LOL.

On can call themselves a christian, And not be born again
Everyone who is born again is a christian.
the difference is if you are born again or not.

Catholics believe - are taught - that they are born again when they are baptised as babies. And they seem to be unhappy to accept that as adult they need to make the choice for themselves.
