Become Born of Water and of the Spirit

John 3:5

In order to be truly converted and to come into the fold we must first become baptized of water for the remission of our sins, and being baptized by the Spirit which is receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. Without these two basic processes we cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. Being born of water and of the Spirit symbolizes our rebirth as a new person, not a literal rebirth, but what is also another a symbol is becoming anew and converted into Christ's church.
