@Reggie Belafonte See John chapter 3 where Jesus talks about being born of water and the Spirit. Most people think the water refers to when we are physically born into this world.

Of course the Spirit refers to the Holy Spirit who comes to indwell us as believers....then we are born again.
@Reggie Belafonte I think you are misunderstanding what @Sister-n-Christ is talking about. See my quote above.

Most people believe the water Jesus referred to is when a mother's water breaks before childbirth.

Being born of the Spirit (born again) is when we have believed on Christ as our Savior and the Holy Spirit comes to indwell us.

See what Jesus said below...

5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit. 7 Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’ John 3:5-7
