Try seeing the "water" mentioned here as being the "Living water" Jesus spoke of with the woman at the well. Now, all we have to do is review His words to her. . .
"Unless one is born again by the "Living water" _"Word" (John 20:22) and the "Spirit" points up the purpose and necessity of Pentecost.
If you are referring to Jn. 3:5, I'm gonna disagree. Here's why. Jesus is talking about being added to the kingdom. 5Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. When we look at what Jesus said and what the apostles did when converting people, we see the water (h2o) and the spirit.
Matt. 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
Acts 10:47 "Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?"
Acts 2:41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.
Did this address your suggestion?
