So when were you born of water the first time???
Those who, though they have not received the washing of regeneration, die for the confession of Christ — it avails them just as much for the forgiveness of their sins as if they had been washed in the sacred font of Baptism. For He that said, “If anyone is not reborn of water and the Spirit, he will not enter the kingdom of heaven,”
made an exception for them in that other statement in which He says no less generally, “Whoever confesses Me before men, I too will confess him before My Father, who is in heaven” [Matt 10:32].
What a story...Everyone must be born again of water (sprinkled with water), except those who don't...
You want to tell us why your Catholic NAB doesn't agree with what you claim???
5Jesus answered, “Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.
No one in your Catholic bible must be born again with water...
And if it's not in your bible, why are you making it up???
“making it up?”
like we are making up the Trinity?
