Purely in the interest of accuracy:
It is not required that a person be "born again" to be a Christian.
In fact, some Christians consider that whole idea rather offensive.
A Christian is simply one who believes that Christ is the Son of God
(Christ-ian -- get it?).
The concept of being "born again" was unheard of in Bach's time. He was
just a good Lutheran (a Christian sect).
Don't write me about this. I keep my beliefs to myself and wish others
would too, especially on this list.
