Yes, a man (he’s including women) must be born of the water and of the Spirit (John 3:5). (A mind too undeveloped, to understand the commands of the Son of God, is obviously not being judged at that point).
When speaking of being born of the Spirit, Jesus said: “The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.” John 3:8
Spirit birth: There is a SOUND when it happens, but you CAN’T tell how it happens. Yet it happens to EVERYONE that is born of the Spirit.
The initial fulfillment of that was in Acts 2, with the details spelled out by Peter:
“..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).
Water birth: Paul’s witness of his own conversion includes his water baptism, where Ananias told him to “arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” (Acts 22:16)
Paul mentions a type and shadow of water and Spirit rebirth is seen in the Israelites departure from Egypt, where they all were baptized unto Moses (1 Cor. 10:1,2). And they only left Egypt that ONE way: under the cloud and through the sea. Because the Red Sea became God’s means of salvation for Israel. Therefore, going to the ‘promised land’ without going through the ‘Red Sea’ is not following the ‘cloud’.
