• John 3:5 . . I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God
unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
The water spoken of in that verse is commonly believed to be ordinary H2O,
but Jesus spoke of it again in John 4:10 as living water; which isn't for
bathing, rather, it's specifically for drinking.
• John 4:11-14 . . Sir-- the woman said --you have nothing to draw with and
the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Jesus answered:
Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the
water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become
in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.
In other words: the the water Jesus spoke of in John 3:5 is a supernatural
beverage rather than ritual Christian baptism.

The rebirth experience includes both water and Spirit according to Jesus' words in John 3:5. The scriptures you mention pertain to the experience of speaking in tongues that occurs when the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in a person. This is confirmed elsewhere in scripture.
"In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)" John 7:37-39
We see this truth in action as recorded in Acts 2:1-4. And specifically referenced in Acts 2:32-33 below:
"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Acts 2:1-4
"This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost,
he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear." Acts 2:32-33
