No, I am not saying this at all! What I am saying is, this is a very detailed passage on the rebirth of sinners, and yet there is no mention to either repentance or faith, both of which are musts for any sinner to be "born agian". This passage in John is not giving the whole picture on how a person is born again, but deals with the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus, a Jewish leader who should have kown better about the spiritual side of rebirth. He spoke of the natural, and Jesus uses this to say there is another, than is not outward and natural, by inward and spiritual, done by the Holy Spirit in the repentant/believing sinner.

A Spiritually dead person cannot repent and believe, hence the need to be born again first. Repentance and faith are evidences of Spiritual life not causes.

Here is the text again, "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to." (Luke 13:24).

WHO is being told to "MAKE EVERY EFFORT"?
