Is there a difference?  Being an Adventist has tended to be more about what we believe than who we are.  We generally have not put much emphasis on being born again.  It seems that we've often taken it for granted.  But we mustn't take the new birth for granted.  A person who says he believes in the teachings of this church may indeed not yet be born again.  Becoming a Seventh-day Adventist is not just about joining the church; it is about a new life.
