As a baby i received this in 1961.
In my teen years i was taught the new birth meant accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior.My late Pastor put a strong emphasis on water baptism.....And after we were laid hands on to receive the Holy Spirit......
Later ......i met my future wife ...and in my time in the Church of Christ denomination they taught faith in Christ ,repentance and water baptism to be born again.
In 2012 in Bishop Posey's Church i went forward for prayer and the Power of God fell on me =like it had in my home Church in Warren =and i was immersed in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
My Mother came with me and had the same experience .

I was totally stunned by her conversion.I had prayed for her for all my life.
MY question is ....what are your views on this vital subject???
Is the new birth an actual supernatural experience where the dead spirit of the sinful seeker is regenerated by the Power of the Holy Ghost??
Or is it something else or both???
