But these really are the same thing, Dean.
I mean, if a born-againer later goes around murdering people, robbing people, etc. then he ain't goin to heaven, regardless! Others will simply say that he wasn't REALLY 'born again' based on his deeds.
So in the end everything comes down to good people doing good deeds.
