If you follow what is presented in the teachings of Jesus Christ, you will find that in order to become born-again, and gain access into the Kingdom of God through the Narrow gate as opposed to the Broad gate with leads to destruction - Matthew 7 vs 13 - 14 - one must instead obey the commandments put forth by Jesus Christ:

* Believe in Jesus Christ, God's New Law, and Covenant in the Kingdom of God
* Active change from following the Old Way to following the New Way is a step requiring obedience to the teachings(and commandments of Jesus) - Matthew 3 vs 7 -11 & John 3 vs 1 - 21
* Water Baptism - become born of water
* Eat the body and drink the blood of Jesus Christ in order to seal self in God's New Covenant, Jesus Christ, by which one then obtains eternal life - John 6 vs 35 - 48
* Abandon family, friends, titles, reputation, job/career/businesses, home, land, etc., in order to follow Jesus Christ - Matthew 10 vs 34 - 39

For if you publicly declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and exercise faith in your heart that God raised him up from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one exercises faith for righteousness, but with the mouth one makes public declaration for salvation. Romans 10:9-10

Paul never said anything about BORN AGAIN in the verses you quoted!
Though being saved is one thing and being Born Again is another thing.

I understand quite well that we must obey the Lord Jesus Christ, but before obey our obey can be fulfilled we must believe and accept the the Lord Jesus Christ. Let me ask you a question, if am a sinner and I give money to the churches, will my money be accepted by God

Why not focus on what Jesus Christ, the one who your focus should be on 100% has said concerning the issue of your concern? I am not called as a witness of Paul's doctrines but as a witness of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, which Paul's doctrines and traditions barely touch. undecided

I read through scripture, and realized that all God ever wanted from us is that we trust Him and obey His teachings and commandments vowing to answer when we call out to Him in obedience. So, I picked up on the commandments written of in scripture, began to obey them one by one, and that is how it all started for me. I was a serious doubter of the idea of God, and worse, of Jesus Christ, as at the time I became born-again. undecided

1 Corinthians 5 ends in verse 13, and does not go up to verse 17, which is what I mean. undecided

Salvation is for all obedient mankind so from Abel till John the baptist who are obedient to God will be saved as in resurrect in Paradise including the thief Jesus promised. Luke 23:43

But being BORN AGAIN is another thing entirely that's why Jesus told his listeners that John the baptist was the greatest of all the men who had lived before the Christ but as for the first set subjects of God's Kingdom (BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS) the least of them is greater than John the baptist! Matthew 11:11

BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS are limited number chosen among Jesus' disciples {Revelations 14:1} they will be transformed into spirit beings {Luke 20:34-36} because they're going to heaven with Christ {John 14:1-3} never to return to this planet again. 1Thessalonians 4:16-17

They're the ones who will rule with him in heaven {Revelations 20:4} before anyone is resurrected this set will be resurrected FIRST because they're the first fruit of God's Kingdom! Revelations 20:6

Even Jesus himself has no say in the choosing of BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS {Matthew 20:20-23} because it's the same way God chose him {Matthew 3:16} that God will choose them {Act 2:2-4} Jesus referred to them as his brothers that we must acknowledge! Matthew 25:40

They're the only ones who has the right to eat the bread and drank the wine with Jesus {Luke 22:19} whoever is not one of them but eat or drank of the emblem will blame himself {1Corinthians 11:27-30} of course some first century Christians who died due to being ignorant will not be totally condemned because they don't know {1Corinthians 11:31-32} but after knowing that the emblem only belongs to few and not all faithful servants of God whoever go ahead to join in the eating will be condemned! Matthew 22:11-14

So the BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS are just like all other faithful servants of God but they were chosen by God Himself not that they decided to become BORN AGAIN!
