Born again in Scripture

The main point discussed in this episode is the theological concept of being born again in Scripture. The host, Jimmy Aiken, addresses the challenge that people do not need to be baptized, emphasizing that Scripture teaches that individuals are born again through baptism. He highlights the passage in John 3:3, where Jesus tells Nicodemus that one must be born again to see the kingdom of God. The Greek phrase used here involves a pun, which means both 'again' and 'from above.' Jesus further explains that one must be born of water and the spirit, which refers to baptism. This concept is also supported by an Old Testament background, as seen in Ezekiel 36:25-27. Additionally, other passages such as Romans 6:3-4 and Titus 3:5 link the reception of new life and regeneration to baptism.
