Technically, yes. However, the terminology means different things. Jesus is considered by born again Christians to be an external entity to which you must ask for forgiveness for your sins. He will come back in human form one day (soon)and kill all the sinners and non-christians, and place the christians in heaven (but only the arm waving ones). Everyone else will be burned and tortured in hell pain for eternity. Do you see the difference?
