It is through Baptism that we are "born again" (or "born from above") of "water and of the Spirit" (John 3:3-5). Read the entire chapter of John 3 which speaks of being "born again" and please note that it is all about Baptism. Despite what some Protestants believe, being "born again" doesn't mean "having an emotional high" or "making a decision for Christ," though these are fine and good, the latter being necessary after the age of reason; being "born again" very clearly refers to Baptism of water and of the Spirit. This regeneration of water and Spirit is necessary to enter the Kingdom of God:
John 3:3-5
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God

Born Again is Not Our Body Born Again, But Our Spirit, Reborn Again, Because We Already Born By Caused Of Sin, So Our Spirit is Member Of Hell Nationality, But Jesus Already Sacrificied For Us, So Our Spirit Can Reborn Again in Blood Of Jesus, So if We Are Beleived Jesus Blood Can Save Us, Our Spirit Can Enter Heaven, Because We Already Belong To Be God Nationality , So We Are Jesus Deciples, Best Regards, EddyLim777@yahoo.com.sg

Rebirth of the Christ Self - one's true nature as opposed to the learned egoic defensive belief system. Baptism is a purification symbol related to washing away ego impurities. Emptying of the ego is also a common description. Jesus' life embodies one "way" to accomplish this psychological process of empowerment. We ALL are faced with this problem, even the "esteemed" Pharasees of the time.

Being born again was accepting Jesus, who will make things new. The swept and garnished had to do with a demon being cast out of someone. But they need to be filled with Jesus.

Born again of the water and of the spirit. Washed clean of your sins. A fresh start. It is a step in salvation (Acts 2:38).

your first birth is when your mother gives physical birth to you. being born again means that you have accepted Christ as your Saviour and you have been baptized with holy water in the name of the Trinity.the Trinity is the Father,the Son and the Holy Spirit.

You must have sin forgiven and receive God's Holy Spirit... to re create us inside:
"But as many as received him (Jesus), TO THEM he gave the power to become the Sons of God, even to them that believe in his name, which were born.... not of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but were born of God"- (John 1:12)

Simply put: Accepting Jesus as your personal Savior and allowing Christ to guide your life in harmony with his word.
