Praise the Lord. Jesus said in John 3.5 Except a man be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Now what is the water and the Spirit that makes us born again. Notice how in the book of the acts of the apostles the water and the Spirit was mentioned together. First in Acts 2.38 Peter said, Repent, and be BAPTIZED every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you will receive the gift of THE HOLY GHOST (water and Spirit). Acts 8.16,17 says They were BAPTIZED in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then laid they their hands on them, and they received THE HOLY GHOST. Acts 10.47,48 says, Peter answered, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be BAPTIZED , which have received the HOLY GHOST as well as we? And he commanded them to be BAPTIZED in the name of the Lord(water and Spirit). Finally Acts 19.5,6 says When they heard by Paul that they should believe on Christ Jesus, they were BAPTIZED in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul laid his hands on them, the HOLY GHOST came on them, and they spoke with tongues. Bare in mind this is not my own opinion, but the Bible's record. You may ask why is one baptized in Jesus' name to be born again of the water like the Bible says? The answer again the Bible. Romans 6.3 says, So many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death. Colossians 2.12 says, We are buried with Christ in baptism, wherein also we are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who has raised him from the dead. Also 1Peter 3. 21 says Baptism does also now save us...by the ressurection of Jesus Christ. And Jesus said in Mark 16.16 He that believes the gospel and is baptized will be saved. And we're baptized in Jesus' name(Lord or Christ being added because Peter said in Acts 4.12 Neither is there salvation in any other besides Jesus Christ, for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. He also said in Acts 10.43 Through Jesus' name whosoever believes in him will receive remission of sins. Then after being baptized one receives the Holy Ghost speaking in tongues according to Acts 2.4 They were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. So now you have the account on how to be born again according to the word of Godl. May God bless you. Amen
