Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ,
Truthfully, once we were born of a human parent, probably some you of a Christian parent, and me a heathen parent.
Since when the Gospel is known to us being born from above, we were able to 'see' the Kingdom of GOD, that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD.
To GOD we are 'dead'(Genesis2:17/Luke9:60), as we were beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead men's bones and everything impure. (Matthew 23:27)
Therefore by grace and through faith the gift of GOD, we repented and took water baptism in faith, as burying the dead us and rising from the water alive a new creation/creature.
That is, we're born of water and furthermore of the Holy Ghost in order to 'enter' the Kingdom of GOD, likewise, what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
So for example, on 28th October 1967 i was born of a human parent, brought up and were dead in sin, until i became born again and in faith performed water baptism on 31 August 2006.
Now let us ponder together, which of the birthday we should celebrate, whether of the one who is born dead of an earthly parent or the one who is born alive of a Heavenly parent?
Shalom in the name of Lord Jesus Christ
