Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (John 3:3-5)
notice how Christ said we must be born of water AND of the Spirit. protestants have a water baptism, but do they have the Spirit to go along with it? roman catholics don't even baptize.
there are water baptisms and then there are water and Spirit baptisms. |
