The Meaning of Born again

The meaning of Born again is different, you have to born again in spirit and born again in spirit is the baptism of Holy Spirit and the baptism of Holy Spirit is actually the distribution of Gift of God. That baptism in Holy Spirit is still unknown today because the baptism of Holy Spirit ceased in the past. John 3:5-8 stated that, we have to baptise in water and Holy Spirit to enter Kingdom of God.
The Gift of Holy Spirit
1corintians 12:8-11
Something from the Spirit can be seen in each person. The Spirit gives this to each one to help others. [SUP]8 [/SUP]The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak with wisdom. And the same Spirit gives another person the ability to speak with knowledge. [SUP]9 [/SUP]The same Spirit gives faith to one person and to another he gives gifts of healing. [SUP]10 [/SUP]The Spirit gives to one person the power to do miracles, to another the ability to prophesy, and to another the ability to judge what is from the Spirit and what is not. The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak in different kinds of languages, and to another the ability to interpret those languages. [SUP]11 [/SUP]One Spirit, the same Spirit, does all these things. The Spirit decides what to give each one.
John 3:5-8 say that we have to be born again in water and in Holy Spirit. We have to baptise in Holy Spirit to enter the kingdom of God.
The baptise of Holy Spirit is stated clearly below
Acts 19:1-4, While Apostles was at Corinth; Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples [SUP]2 [/SUP]and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
[SUP]3 [/SUP]So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?”
“John’s baptism,” they replied.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” [SUP]5 [/SUP]On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
I they believe but they did not receive Holy Spirit. They receive water baptised but they are not ever born again is Spirit.
Acts 19:6-7 [SUP]6 [/SUP]When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. [SUP]7 [/SUP]There were about twelve men in all.
Act 11:15 “As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning. [SUP]16 [/SUP]Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
When Paul place his hand on them and prayed and they receive Holy Spirit and that the baptism of Holy Spirit and born again.
This is the baptised in Holy Spirit and Born again. Born again in Spirit is the baptism of Holy Spirit which currently no one baptised people or Christian in with Holy Spirit. John 3:5-8 is the condition to enter the Kingdom of God. First you have to believe in Jesus and then Baptised in water and then baptised in Holy Spirit.
Peter and John were doing the same work of the Holy Spirit baptising people with Holy Spirit.
Acts 8: [SUP]17 [/SUP]Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Since they are the ones that receive the Holy Spirit they have the authority to distribute the Holy Spirit.
Also peter and John place their hands on them and they baptised in Holy Spirit OR BORN AGAIN in Spirit.
All the Christian churches will have to be baptised in Holy Spirit to enter the Kingdom of God.
