Believing in Christ and Calling Upon the Name of the Lord

Again, I see nothing here about being born again.

I agree...I clearly see, from the passage, that those who believe are indeed born again.
But what I also notice is that there is nothing in John 3 that tells anyone how to be born again, nor do I find anywhere else in the Scriptures where the Lord is describing the process by which a person can cause Him to do this.

Question:
When you read these passages, do you conclude that believing on Christ is how a person is born again?

I do not.

With respect, I think you are reading into the passages what is not there...that a person is born again by believing on Christ...
But I still do not see, in any of the passages that you've listed, the Lord telling anyone what it takes to bring about the new birth....
Only what people who believe on Christ either have, or will do.

I'm sorry, but it seems we will have to agree to disagree.
I wish you well, sir, and good evening to you.

Dave have you ever seen this verse Ephesians 1:13 or these Romans 10:9-10. What exactly do you think they mean? From what you have written, with all due respect, I do think you need some serious help in understanding the bible.

To answer your question one does not save him/herself. One is saved by the grace of God through faith. That is the condition that God has set for salvation.
