[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jimmy Carter was the first President of the United States to publicly declare that he was born-again, in 1976. By the 1980 campaign, all three major candidates stated that they had been born again.

Jimmy Carter, cult member. [/quote]

In the 1970s, it was found by political strategist that the evangelical vote had not been won by anybody. Jimmy Carter declared himself to be evangelical and it helped him win.  So did Ronald Reagan. Neither were born again, and neither were evangelical, but it did help their elections.

Describing his beliefs at the 1978 National Prayer Breakfast, Carter said, "For those of us who share the Christian faith, the words 'born again' have a very simple meaning: that through a personal experience, we recommit our lives as humble children of God, which makes us in the realest possible sense brothers and sisters of one another."

In an interview with Fox News, Carter was asked to define what he meant by calling himself "born again". He replied as follows:

"In the Book of John, when Christ was questioned by one of the Pharisees, he said, 'You must be born again to have a new life as one of my followers.' So being born again is just like breathing for us. It was a phrase that we used without question for the first 50 years of my existence. And then, of course, evangelical to me is someone who relates their experience with Christ and others in hopes that the other person will accept Christ as savior. So I look upon both these not as a matter of liberal versus consecutive, or fundamentalist versus progressive, or whatever, but as a standard description of someone who is a believer in Christ and who follows the Bible."

Interesting that the first time Jimmy Carter use the word “born again” was during an election time. In 1970s. Yet never before in any of his other elections did he mention being born again.

Yes, it was a political strategy. He was evangelical the whole time but “born again” was used as a political strategy. And if you need citations, go to Wikipedia, and look at the citations… reduce some real Research, but you won’t.[/quote]

Beliefs
From a young age, Carter showed a deep commitment to evangelical Christianity.[427][428] In 1942, Carter became a deacon and taught Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia.[429] At a private inauguration worship service, the preacher was Nelson Price, the pastor of Roswell Street Baptist Church of Marietta, Georgia.[430] An evangelical Christian, Carter appealed to voters after the scandals of the Nixon Administration, and is credited with popularizing the term "born again" into American lexicon during the 1976 American presidential campaign.[428][431][432][433] As president, Carter prayed several times a day, and professed that Jesus was the driving force in his life. He was greatly influenced by a sermon he had heard as a young man that asked: "If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?"[434] In 2000, after the Southern Baptist Union announced they would no longer permit women to become pastors, he renounced his membership, saying: "I personally feel that women should play an absolutely equal role in service of Christ in the church."[435] He remained a member of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.[427]
