Jerry,
   In order to be 'born again' we must believe that we are sinners in 
need of a Savior and that Jesus Christ is the only Savior who gave 
himself for us by suffering and dying on the Cross and then secured the 
victory by His resurrection on the third day.  I believe this is the 
most basic understanding a person must have to be 'born again' under 
ordinary circumstances.  This is essentially the understanding that the 
thief on the Cross had.
       He was recognized he was a sinner   -- Luke 23:41   41 "And we 
indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds
       He knew Jesus was righteous and was going to die  -----   Luke 
23:41   but this Man has done nothing wrong."
       He knew that death would not hold Jesus (resurrection)  --- Luke 
23:42   42 Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into 
Your kingdom."

Peace,
Steve
