Jesus said to be born again, I must be born of water. Jesus
was not talking about the water that comes out in a natural birth; He was
talking about the water in a spiritual birth. Jesus said, we must be born
AGAIN.
"Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when
he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be
born?" - John 3:4 KJV
Jesus answered Nicodemus,
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that
which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye
must be born again." - John 3:6-7 KJV
I must be born of water in order to enter into the kingdom
of God.
"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God." - John 3:5 KJV
How am I born of water?
I am born of water when I am water baptized by emersion in the
name of Jesus.
Water baptism in the name of Jesus is what Peter preached on
the Day of Pentecost when the church first began.
Peter preached how to be born of the water and of the Spirit
and the door was opened to the kingdom.
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38 KJV
That day, those that heard the word were born again of the
water and of the Spirit.
"Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:
and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls." -
Acts 2:41 KJV
"And they continued stedfastly in the apostles'
doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers...And the
Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." - Acts 2:42, 47
KJV
