Opinions are cheap. If your opinion is that water refers to womb, stick to it.

Opinions are cheap, but the proof lies in the scripture.

The third and clearly contextual position is that the water here is a reference to physical birth. Any parent knows tht a baby is born in a sack of water (amniotic fluid) which breaks just prior to delivery....The immediate context following clearly contrasts physical birth from spiritual birth....(Understanding the Bible, David Sorenson, Northstar Ministries, 2005)

What Christ is not referring to is water Baptism, which never saved anyone (1Pet.3:21)

Is Sorensen scripture, and how much did you pay for his book?

1 Peter 3:21 says: “baptism being of the like form, now saveth you also”. You cannot be taken seriously, sorry.
