Being born again means just what it says. When you die, your spirit/soul(as apposed to flesh body) will be born again from water(in womb).

Just like being naturally born-the 'seed' comes in contact with the egg, and conception takes place. After a time of nurturing in a safe environment that which was conceived grows and grows until one day you have a birth-a new life begins.
Born again is similar. The seed (the gospel message) comes in contact the egg ( a searching heart) and conception (faith) takes place. After a time of nurturing with the truth (the word of God) , eventually after enough nurturing that faith builds and grows into full "belief"-and you have a new birth, you are born again. You have a physical body-the one you were physically born with, and you have a spirit-born of a willing heart and the truth (seed) of God.
When Mary became pregnant with the baby Jesus, she was made pregnant with the spoken word of God. She actually believed what God had said (through the angel) and that belief conceived.
That's the best I can do.
edit= the key is ""believe"" God.

The phrase born again comes from the conversation of Nicodemus, a member of the Sanhedrin, and Jesus. This happen in John Chapter 3 starting in verse one. During this conversation Jesus tell Nicodemus that he must be born again to enter into Heaven. Then go to tell him how a grown man could be born again. Below is a link that shows this chapter so yo can read it.

Just to clarify being "born again" does not mean being baptised in water. Anyone can jump in a pool of water. But God is after your own heart. Its a simple heart condition. Being born again is simply this: admitting you are a sinner, acknowledging that Jesus died and rose and is the Son of God, asking him to forgive you of your sins and then you turn from them and begin to live a life for Him. The old man dying and the new man begins.

Being born again is when you accept Jesus as your Savior. You believe that He died for you, and was buried, and rose again on the third day. You ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins, and come into your heart and save you. You trust in Him, by Faith. You repent, and turn from your sins, and live for Jesus. Go out and tell the world what Jesus done for you. Tell them how to be saved. Read your Bible. Pray. Go to a good Bible believing church. Seek God for the will of your life, and let your light shine for Jesus.

A born again is typically a reference to a person who has done bad in their past, and through the power of god and the christian faith they have decided to turn their life around and get baptized and preach or spread the word and love of god (as they see it from the good book)
You'll usually see these people as young pastors owning churches that are not a part of the catholic church (also refered to as evangelical) and getting the tax break and in some cases getting rich off of others beleifs.

We are born physical beings, who think only physical thoughts regarding God & His Kingdom, and the translation of the contents of the bible.
It is stated that nobody will see the Kingdom , unless they are reborn.It is thus possible now, to hear and see , providing we have recieved the ears and eyes.
To me this means changing from a physical thinking person , to a person who can differentiate between the physical and the spiritual.

Being born again involves being baptized in water and begotten by God's spirit, thus becoming a son of God with the prospect of sharing in the Kingdom of God. Jesus had this experience, as do the heirs chosen to rule with him in the heavenly Kingdom.

The term born again means to be born from above. This does
NOT
mean you get water baptized to wash away your sins.
It means that you give your heart to God and He pronounces you justified before him and he sees no sin in you by the shed and precious blood of his only beloved Son, Jesus Christ, the righteous who loved mankind enough to enable mankind to go to heaven.

When you decide to give up your sin full life style and ask Jesus to become your personal savior, you become a new creation in Christ Jesus. You should go to church and read the bible and as you grow as a Christian, you will notice positive changes in your life.
