Reading the posts on Nicodemus, I came across an old question in my
mind taht I was asked years ago that I had no answer for.  First off
I do believe that John 3:5 speaks of baptism in water and of the Holy
Ghost.  but here are the questions I came across.

John 3:5 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.
[6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh: and that which is born
of the Spirit is spirit.

Quest 1 or interpreptation 1.  Does the water  mean natural birth (a
woman breaks water during a birth or so my home ec. teacher said) and
the spirit mean salvation birth?



Quest 2 or interpreptation 2.  Does the water mean baptism and the
spirit mean holy ghost baptism?  (THis is mine).

quest 3 or Interp. 3.   How does verse 6 fit in?  

Enjoy thinking. I will post my answers to this later.
