That's not true. VS. It's not true.

That's not true. VS. It's not true.

I don't like that. VS. I don't like it.

Is there a meaning difference between it and that in those sentences? I think some people say it or that without meaning difference. What do you native English speakers think?

Hans51 Is there a meaning difference between it and that in those sentences? Not in meaning, no. It is a matter of external reference: 'that' is pointing to something.
