=== The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  ===
The ''[[Book of Mormon]]'' emphasizes the need for everyone to be reborn of God.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mosiah 27 |url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/mosiah/27?lang=eng |access-date=4 August 2020 |website=www.churchofjesuschrist.org}}</ref>

Latter-day Saints believe that being born again refers to "true repentance". In other words, rejecting the "carnal, sinful nature" of humans and making a covenant with God to live a righteous, Christ-like life. This covenant is done initially as baptism by immersion at age 8, or the age of accountability, or when someone newly converts. It is then renewed weekly through partaking of the sacrament during church meetings.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Christofferson |first1=D.

It is a common misconception that the Church of Jesus Christ teaches that these ordinances are required works to be "saved". It is actually taught that Christ has already saved all humanity from physical death and will save from spiritual death through repentance and obeying God's commandments on judgment day, after death and resurrection.<ref>{{cite book |title=Bible |pages=1 Corinthians 15:22 |edition=NKJV |url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/nt/1-cor/15?lang=eng&id=22#p22 |access-date=8 February 2023 |ref=1 Corinthians 15:22}}</ref> Baptism and Sacrament are done as according to the faith of a person as an outward expression of an inward commitment to serve God and live a righteous life.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Oaks |first1=Dallin H. |title=Have You Been Saved |url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1998/04/have-you-been-saved?lang=eng |website=churchofjesuschrist.org |publisher=Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints |access-date=8 February 2023 |ref=General Conference April 1998}}</ref>
