In order to be a Christian you only have to be born again and live a life like Christ did.
​
That's only according to you and your beliefs, though.
​
I was raised a Roman Catholic, which is a sect of Christianity, and there was no requirement to be "born again" that you speak of.
​
Yet, I considered myself a Christian, and all of the other Catholics I knew considered themselves Christians.

So I can reject Buddha's teachings and be a Buddhist?

I'm pretty sure that you can, actually.

You'd just not get very far along on the path to Enlightenment.

Sure, but I don't think that ICANT is talking about infant baptism when he says "born again".
