An outer display of Born again or being a Beleiver, without an inward genuinely Christ-like behavior in you, is like a reflection of self-deception, and public manipulation of character acts!
A born again or believer, is not define by a merely words, confession or engaging in any church activities.
A Christ-like believer(Born again) is one that's genuinely in heart, soul and spirit, obeyed the teaching of Christ, and follow His way in righteousness and love.
Matthew 7:21-25
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven…
Genuine believers are not known by their big Bible, neither by their constant committed service in the church. A committed believer is not known by the level of his/her anointing in preaching and speaking in tongues. You are filled with the presence of Lord, in the church, but when you are in secret places, you will be filled with immorality
Romans 2:13
For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous
You may possess the grace in giving support to the Church or helping others, but that doesn't qualify you as a genuine believer.
You may possess the grace in singing wondrous worship songs, that would even makes God to arise from his throne, but that doesn't make you a standard and refined believer.
You may possess the Grace in preaching with Heavenly anointing that can cause sober reflections in the heart of sinners and making them to embrace Christ, yet it doesn't guarantee your stands as a genuine believer with strong root-foundation, when you compromise with uncontrollable lust in secrets
If you don't show Christ in you, through uprightness, act of love, truthfulness, honesty, etc; you are not Christ-like in acts. One who is not genuine in heart with God, is likely to be doom, for self-deception is a one way to destruction
James 1:26
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is worthless
