Wow, that is staggering, honestly ... I couldn't disagree more ...

What's so staggering about it? Do you not study Christian history?

You just have a classically Protestant nonsacramental view of Baptism. To you the Sacrament is meaningless...just some water and words. To us, it's a true Sacrament which brings about what it symbolizes: we are born again of water AND the Spirit. Remember circuitry logic? AND. Not OR, not NOR, not NAND, but AND.

we are born again of water AND the Spirit.

That's not what the verse says...

Joh 3:5 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.

It does NOT say born AGAIN of water...It says 'born of water'...
