Born of water is that born of a women,
the womb is full of water,
it breaks and the child is born
Being born of the spirit is being born of God
Recreated by the spirit of God
The man of the spirit will follow after the things of the spirit
because they are life to him,
not of the flesh and what pleases the flesh,
it is carnal and cannot please God, we want
to please our Father and Jesus because we
love him..............

"Born of water" is a Jewish reference to the first birth, in which the child floats inside the "water" in its mother's belly for nine months. Once the water breaks, the child is then born.
Another way of stating what Jesus said earlier about needing to be born both of the flesh and of the spirit. Each person needs to first be born physically and then be reborn spiritually.

Being born of water (which Jesus commanded) is being baptized. Being born of Spirit is having the Holy Spirit which you do when you give your life to the Lord. Some also think it is when you are filled with the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues. However, there are many gifts of the Spirit.
Peace be with you.

In general I think it is referring to "born of water" as the physical act of baptism-you are immersed in and raised out of the water. Born of the Holy Spirit then comes hand in hand with it when you recieve the Spirit after accepting Christ.

Born of water= physical birth. It is called "born of water" because when a woman gives birth, her "water breaks."
"Born of spirit" or "Born of The Spirit" is being "born again" - when you come to God and are renewed by the Spirit of God.
