'NOW CHRISTIANITY'
The Bible teaches us to spend time hearing the voice of God. 'Now Christianity' focuses on whatever trend seems to be big at the time. In many churches it is programs, in others it is seminars, and in others it is doing something other than what is commanded of Christians to do. 'Now Christianity' often is full of emotionalism or fads such as dancing, prayer walking, etc.)
WORSHIP
Worship is narrowly defined as singing current songs and singing them loudly. If you don't 'feel' close to God, something is wrong with you. If you study the Word, worshipping God is rarely defined as singing songs, listening to others sing, or having a choir, or 'worship team'.
BORN AGAIN
All men are unrighteous. None understand, none seek God. Being born again is a gift from God. It is not a 'personal relationship'. It is being born anew in God - Him giving you eternal salvation. God is not your 'personal buddy'. He is the Lord of all, and the Maker and Redeemer of all there is. He is the Absolute Supreme God. Your salvation is based on the Word of God, not your emotional response. Being born again is having the faith in Jesus that He gives you. Holiness is not something that you can do to get to heaven. It is affixed on you by God.
