  1. Hi I am currently enrolled in a New Testament Foundations class and was asked to briefly share my ideas on a principle that we learned about in our reading assignment this week. Jesus teaches of the saving ordinance of Baptism and what it means be born again by spirit and water, that is required to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. In John 3: 1-10 Jesus preached this doctrine to Nicodemus. He says "Except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3:3) When I think of being born again I think that there has to be a death before you can be reborn, and that death can symbolize wickedness or sin leaving you through repentance. Baptism usually follows this repentance process and is the principle that Jesus refers to when he says "Be born of water". After we are baptized we are given the gift of the holy ghost. If we are obedient and in tune with the holy ghost it'll lead to spiritual experiences.
