The word is the water. Baptism is a symbol of having already been washed of our sins by the blood of Jesus.

>>"Born Again" is water baptism. <<

Again, baptism is only a symbol of what has already happened.

The “Word” is written and oral, both. It’s not water.
Our sins are not washed away by Our Lord’s death on the Cross.

“Baptism” is not a symbol. Water is used in Baptism.

That’s why “Born again” in the Protestant sense is not
what Jesus explains in John 3. The first Christians follow
Our Lord’s meaning...they all believed “Born Again” is
water Baptism.
