Interestingly, I never understood that passage until I became a Calvinist. Funny you should mention that. I could never understand:
"The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit." John 3:8
...that is, until now. ;O)

People think they can somehow will themselves to be "born again," when the delivery process is of and from the Holy Spirit. Nicodemus had it half right, it took Christ to explain the second part of that particular truth.
