I know I'm coming in late in this conversation, but if Jesus said you have to be born AGAIN.. and you've already been born NATURALLY once .. so the AGAIN would be spiritually; WHAT ELSE COULD THAT MEAN?
You're born once, naturally, and 'again' spiritually.
It can't be baptism,can it? Jesus and John the Baptist both preached belief, repentence, THEN baptism. Therefore you would have been "born again" (spiritually) before you are baptised,right?
Oops, forgot to ping ya’ll to post 493 above.
It is indeed amazing how clear scripture is when it is allowed to speak for itself and one does not read something into it.
Born once-die twice
Born twice-die once.
