I feel better at rewording what I would answer - For what I KNOW to be true, I am not concerned with opinions of others of it.

Yes. The bible warned us it'd happen and it's true the world over. It's a small sacrifice for what's to come for those who endure it.

A true born again christian will not be hated by the world. Those who profess to be born again and aren't, will be hated.

A born again christian is perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect. The person will show attributes like that of our Father. He will be the personification of God walking the earth as Jesus once was. He will show no negatives towards another, only that which is Truth, Beauty and goodness. In no way can the true born again christian be hated because the person would be absolute Love.

Not very many living in the world today.

...so when a man decides to follow the Lord, turn over this new leaf and do his best to follow the Example, and then fails, was he never truly 'born again'? Is man still allowed to commit sin (ever) and wear the label 'born again'...that is my question.

Do you read your Bible or is it just a paperweight?

John 15:18-20

18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
