Without looking it up online or reading the other's answers first, how many of you actually know what the Bible says about how to be saved from sin and become a newborn Christian?

Some rubbish about water and spirit (John 3).
Even the people he talked to thought he was talking nonsense, and that is also recorded. The spirit sets people's heads on fire later on in the bibledegook, which I presume is why you need the water.
A greater bit of logical buffoonery and utter nonsense is hard to find anywhere in history.

You mean "born again" in belief or faith? Religions always try to lure people to them and this term is a favorite. Once you are "born again" you are saved. Every time you change your religion, you are "saved" from the recent religion's dangers.

Most will not agree with me, but Christ said, "Marvel not that I said you must be born again".......
As we have come here, born from another place (ephesians 1) only to forget it by being moulded into this life...... We must return.... and to do so, we must be born again......
That means, as we died from there to be more human, we must die from this human life to enter the kingdom and be born there......
To be born again, requires a death on the part of the life..... We have to die...... That's why it's no big deal, we all must!!!
You cannot enter your mother's womb a second time...... but, you can be born again......
Here are your "KEYS" that it is death:
1 Peter 1:23
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
Otherwise, you will not SEE the kingdom.......
John 3:3
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.
**The kingdom of God is within you........ (luke 17:21).

well okay, we all can be born again in accepting Jesus as savior. But really the apostle Paul was not speaking to "everyone" but to those that have been selected. Born again really is ruleing with Jesus as fellow Kings and Priests with him in heaven. So not everyone will be in heaven and so called born again in that manner.

You go back to the beginning before God created anything and you convince Him to choose to save you and give you his Holy Spirit.
John 3:7 Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
John 6:43 Jesus answered them, "Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
Romans 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! 15 For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." 18 So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.
19 You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?" 20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me like this?"
21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honored use and another for dishonorable use? 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory-- 24 even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles?
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
