Dear readers, how distorted and twisted this testimony can be, when John 3:3, depict about except a man be born again, he cannot 'see' the Kingdom of GOD. There's no water and Holy Ghost mentioned in this verse 3, for in order to 'see' the Kingdom. But rather in the next verse 5, for in order to 'enter' the Kingdom is apparently mentioned.
This basically the first stage of being born again with the teachable anointing received from above, where one is able to 'see' by discipleship, the Kingdom of GOD(1John2:26&27). For it is written, 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of GOD: Not of works, lest any man should boast.'
When Jesus the Word of GOD became flesh, His every word one hears or read about, they are spirit and they are life in a person who 'see'. He is the very every living word of GOD, every word that proceeded out the mouth of GOD. When He proclaimed the Gospel of repentance, baptized people with water and likewise further disciple them about the Kingdom of GOD.
During Jesus was with the disciples, they did not nor could not receive the Holly Ghost for one. Even though then, they were still disciple by the orally spoken living words of Jesus, and they remained discipling with Him till the end. Again without the Holy Ghost, they basically were able to 'see' by the living words of Jesus in discipleship, the Kingdom of GOD.
For example, how did the disciples basically were able to 'see' the Kingdom of GOD without the Holy Ghost? When Jesus asked them who the Jews claim Him as, well Peter answered Him correctly, that, He is Christ, Son of the Living GOD. And Jesus responded to Peter, that he did not know this on his own, but the FATHER in Heaven have revealed this to him, period
To debunk 'counterfeits' and 'imposters', before baptism of water and of Spirit, i was likewise disciple in the written living words of GOD in the Holy Bible. Especially, HIS living words through HIS Son Lord Jesus Christ spoken to us in these last days in the New Testament. In the first stage, i was born again of GOD from above with the anointing in order to 'see' and perceive the Gospel of repentance and redemption, cum for a new person in Christ calling and forwarding as saved.
Then, i came to believe and in acceptance, by grace and through faith, to perform my repentance. And then in the next stage, i was born of water and of the Spirit in order to 'enter' the Kingdom of GOD as son in adoption. Therefore only now henceforth, the Holy Ghost is the 'Comforter' in me, among others who's the power which lead me into the full truth and ministry for the kingdom of GOD.
For it is written, 'All scripture is given by the inspiration of GOD, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of GOD may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.'
Even the commission Jesus gave His disciples, first to make disciples of all nation. Next, second to baptize them in the name of the FATHER, of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
For it is written, 'For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the Gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of GOD.'
