Jesus used the term ‘born again’ on but one occasion, and in that instance it was not in reference to salvation. Just saying.

If Jesus was not referencing regeneration (certainly a component of salvation), what exactly was he referencing in John 3?

Jesus said born "from above" He never said born "again."

Paul used the term frequently and always in the context of salvation. He discussed the old man and the new man at length. Are you denying spiritual rebirth as a function of salvation?

3Jesus answered him, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above."

Can one be saved and not enter the Kingdom of God?
