Born again

===Lutheranism===
The [[Lutheranism|Lutheran Church]] holds that "we are cleansed of our sins and born again and renewed in Holy Baptism by the Holy Ghost. But some Lutherans also teach that whoever is baptized must, through daily contrition and repentance, drown The Old Adam so that daily a new man come forth and arise who walks before God in righteousness and purity forever. Conservative Lutherans teach that whoever lives in sins after his baptism has again lost the grace of baptism."<ref name="Walther2008">{{Cite book |last=Walther |first=Carl Ferdinand Wilhelm |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qWqjkSf4zKMC&pg=PA27 |title=Sermons and prayers for Reformation and Luther commemorations |publisher=Joel Baseley |year=2008 |isbn=978-0982252321 |page=27 |quote=Furthermore, the Lutheran Church also thoroughly teaches that we are cleansed of our sins and born again and renewed in Holy Baptism by the Holy Ghost.
