When Jesus spoke to Nicodemus He referred to being born of the water from the womb. Baptism before He sacrificed Himself on the cross was the outward sign of true repentence. Water baptism is not required to have God put His Holy Spirit Life in a person who is repentant and faithing in Jesus to Save them.

God has the ability to do anything He wishes, for the rest of us we should pay attention to the words of Jesus in His instructions to the Apostles:

“Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. “ Mark 16:16

....”When Jesus spoke to Nicodemus He referred to being born of the water from the womb”....

Yes, exactly... Just before a woman gives birth her “water breaks”....thus we are born of water...a physical birth...”that which is born of the flesh”

Jesus was speaking to Nicodemus of a “spiritual birth”...born from above”....’You must be born again to enter into his kingdom”....
