to be born the first time = flesh and blood,
to be born the second time = by water and Spirit
John 3
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. [SUP]6 [/SUP]That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [SUP]7 [/SUP]Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
One does not need to be born of flesh to enter the kingdom of Heaven. Angels have no flesh.
True Angels have no flesh, but also they aren't granted the opportunity to repent in the Bible. Angels we're all ready in Heaven, some rebelled and some didn't, they are either in or out. This passage does not involve Angels, but mankind made in His image. When Christ came to earth as the Lamb of God, He had to be born of water, flesh, the womb of a woman, and experience and resist all the temptations we face, He triumphed making Himself a worthy sacrifice only God can except in order to purge our sins.
The reason one can be saved is because they are in trouble to begin with, we are born into this predicament, born into sin. Thus I believe water means birth, born into this physical reality of brokenness and sin.
I understand what you are saying here too, and it could mean what you say and what you say isn't necessarily wrong. I just hold a different opinion.
