BEING BORN AGAIN

EVEN IF U DONT LIKE THE TOPIC, IT WILL STILL REMAIN...DOES THE NAME RING A BELL??IS IT A CHRISTIAN TERMINOLOGY??WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF IT??

THE WORD IN ITSELF NEVER MEANS TO BE REINCARNATED AS SOME MIGHT SUGGEST. THE IMPORT OF THE WORD IS MORE OF SPIRITUAL THAN PHYSICAL. I MADE A SEARCH THROUGH THE KING JAMES BIBLE AND FOUND ONLY THREE.. THE WORD BORN AGAIN APPEARED ONLY THRICE IN THE BIBLE....DOES THAT REDUCE ITS IMPORTANCE??? I DONT THINK SO AT ALL..THE FIRST THING TO DO IS TO GRASP THE UNDERSTANDING OF BEING BORN AGAIN.

TO BE BORN AGAIN IS TO EXPERIENCE THE SECOND BIRTH. WE WERE ALL GIVEN BIRTH TO, AT A POINT IN TIME. THAT CAN BE REFERRED TO AS THE FIRST BIRTH, THAT IS, TO BE BORN OF MAN.
ANY OTHER KIND OF "BIRTH" WOULD NEVER EVER BE TERMED AS THE FIRST BIRTH, BUT THE SECOND BIRTH. TO GET THIS CLEARER, LETS MAKE REFERENCE TO THE BIBLE FROM THE BOOK OF JOHN 3:1-21

FROM THE ABOVE SCRIPTURE (which contains the discussion of this topic between Jesus and Nicodamous), YOU WOULD REALISE THAT, TO BE BORN AGAIN MEANT TO BE BORN OF THE SPIRIT.

WHAT SPIRIT??? GODS SPIRIT..
in verse 5= Jesus was stressing on the importance of being born again
in verse 6= Jesus talked about the natural birth(which we all experienced) and the spiritual birth(being born again)
in verse 7= Jesus stressed on the advantages on being born again

what is your view??
