Where in the Bible is physical human vaginal emergence referred to as "born of water"???
Jesus is not referring to amniotic fluid.
When a woman "breaks her water" that fluid is not water... I promise you it is not water.
Jesus did not say "born of woman" (childbirth). Matthew 11:11, Job 14:1-2, Galatians 4:4-5 etc.
Jesus said water..... not amniotic fluid!!!
Let the Word of God mean what it states and ignore your theological sensibilities.

Flesh is flesh, Spirit is Spirit. Flesh was what being born of water is compared to in this passage. That is what Nicodemus meant.. being born of the mothers womb.
Jesus did not correct Nicodemus but added being born again by the Spirit.
The comparison that water does not equal amniotic fluid is a very weak argument. The bible is not a medical book and does not present exact medical descriptions most of the time.

Believing that Jesus is your Lord and savior alone does not give us the remission of sins.

There is no record either way regarding whether the thief on the cross beside Jesus
was or was not baptized. People assume he was not, but that is just an assumption.
Acts 10:43~ All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.

how did he get baptized he was physically being crucified on the cross by the Romans. That doesn't make any sense.. He got baptized by the Holy Spirit.
Eh? He could very well have been baptized long before he was crucified. Is that possibility not in your wheelhouse? Scripture does say that everyone went to be baptized: Mark 1:5 The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. Whether the thief was among them is anyone's guess. I would not exclude the possibility.
Thank you for answering. Let me first say this: everything we do is, how do we understanding Scripture. Water baptism doesn't save, but like how the BSB translation Peter translate:
1 Petrus 3
21 And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
I can tell why I was baptised, and why I am convinced it is Biblical. But like I wrote, it doesn't save a person. This question you need to study by your self and ask the Lord. And He will give you the answer.

yes, thank you. I would love to get baptized and my church is planning to have a service I believe in November. But my previous Church I have never seen them baptize anyone with water and the pastor went to Dallas Theological Seminary and was an esteemed pastor.
communion yes, repentance and alter call, yes..
