Your thoughts on this gospel lyrics

[henrikhank]

Hi!
I was listening to a gospel song and she, the singer, sang something like “I’m saved…”. What would that mean? Are you already saved here on earth?
She also said, at the concert, that she was a born-again christian. What then would the requirements in order to be called “born-again Christian”? Do you need to do anything special? Or is this going against the biblical and apostolic teachings?
And is that lyrics from the gospel song something that Catholics should not sing at all? Are there any kinds of songs Catholics should refrain from singing or is everything ok?

 

[Beryllos]

There is certainly nothing wrong with listening to or singing a song that declares “I’m saved.” It may be an expression of hope, as if to say “I may be saved by the grace of God.” It may be and expression of thanks and praise, like “God has brought me out of peril and is saving me.”

There are Christians who believe (or presume) that they have been saved once and for all. A song about that might not fully agree with Catholic teaching, but I don’t think it would be sinful (or would lead you to sin) to listen to, sing, or enjoy the song.
