Discussion to figure out if saved and born again mean the same thing. I say no based on the verses below.
Born again comes by the word of God. It is the "mind" of Christ in us, our inner sinless man.
1 Peter 1:23 KJV
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
Saved comes from confessing the Lord Jesus and believing God raised him from the dead.
Romans 10:9 KJV
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
I believe the incorruptible seed is the Holy Spirit of God, and by the word of God, is the word that defines that incorruptible seed.
The parable of the sower;
Matthew 13: But other fell into good ground and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold
1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead, it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.
We are the seed of corruption, Christ is our resurrection from corruption to incorruption. He is the incorruptible seed. Defined by the word of God as such.
We are born again, saved, resurrected by the incorruptible seed, Jesus, as defined by the word of God.
John 3:3-7
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Jesus is answering the question by saying you are born of water (natural birth) and then born again by the Spirit (Spiritual birth)
John 14:16 -17
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
The Spirit of truth is certainly Jesus
So Jesus says you must be born again by the Spirit. Not by the word of God as you believe 1 Peter1:23 is stating.
Romans 8: 9-11
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
I do not believe you can differentiate between being born again and saved, we are born again and saved by the Spirit of God. When you are saved you are born again. Being born again is not a process that comes about after salvation.
You are born again by the Spirit of God as defined by the word of God. Not by the word of God alone as you beleive 1Peter 1:23 states.
Also you isolated Rom 10:9 to define what saved is, but that doesn’t jive with the below verse. Can you reconcile the two verses that give different definitions to how we are saved?
Romans 8 : 24
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
