John 3.3 unless one is born from above he cannot see the Kingdom of God.
John 3.5 unless one is born of the water and the spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.
John 3.6 Â That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the spirit is spirit”.
John 3.8 The wind blows where it wishes and you can hear the sound of it, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes. So is everyone born of the spirit.

The term being “born again” or correctly rendered from the Greek “born from above” is something that even fooled the religious leaders of that day. As Christ said to Nicodemus “are you not the teacher of Israel and you do not know these things?”
Here we are again in a time when this phrase is more of a cliche, more of a catch phrase without any real association with it’s true meaning. And that is? To see the Kingdom of God, and to enter the kingdom of God as is evident by the scripture just quoted. Most people who say they are “born again” have never seen or entered “the Kingdom of God”.  Most of them speak of a kingdom coming later and they call it “the 2nd coming”.
 I would not try to say that you are not born again, but I challenge you look at that phrase in light of these scriptures and judge for yourself. Can you see the Kingdom of God? Can you enter the Kingdom of God? Maybe you can and you don’t even know it, but it may be that you have the second coming Jesus concept stuck in your mind keeping you out of the Kingdom now because they say Jesus must come back to establish His Kingdom as though there is no Kingdom yet, and He is not a King yet, and this is their grievous error. They refuse to give Christ the Glory due His name.
There is laid out in the book of Genesis in creation the law that “kind begets kind”. “each according to their kind”. There are things begat in the sea, on land and in the air, but the one of which we speak is spirit. “for that which is flesh is flesh and that which is spirit is spirit. Ye must be born again”.
  Yes! You must be born of the invisible to be invisible being holy and called a saint, to be godly meaning God like,  the element un noticable to human perceptions. And we do this by the tool of faith being our invisible embelical cord to the “invisible immortal eternal,  the only wise God “.
James 1.27 We are begotten by the (invisible) word of truth to be a kind of (invisible ) first fruits of His (invisible ) creation”. And this transformation happens now in this age of time and matter “while it is called today, if you hear His voice” in which we put on the (invisible) eternal attributes of Christ gifted to us through the gospel and not with held  for a (visible) second coming as many suppose.
This is another reason to run away from the 2nd coming gospel. Or as Christ said to the Pharasees who asked when the kingdom would appear and He answered them saying “the Kingdom cometh not (to the visible carnal eye) with observation”. Christ in turn told the people “do not follow them”. Christ also said of the religious leaders that ” they are the blind who lead the blind into a ditch” and that is what the second coming gospel does. It derails your salvation and puts you on hold waiting for something  (visible) to appear.
This is why you shouldn’t wait because “the Kingdom of God is at hand “. Do you see the Kingdom of God? Do you enter the Kingdom of God? Â Are you really born again?
