Yes, there is rebirth in Christ, think that's what it's called, becoming a
born again Christian. Something that happens during life and sort of
qualifies one for salvation and the eventual restoration after death of
one's body. Might it be said that rebirth is only a figure of speech,
signifing faith and hope for the final return?
