Who is the source of all truth, life, and resurrection from the dead? Jesus. His word should be all that's needed to answer every question, unfortunately in these last days, even His word is not enough and many explain away His clear teachings.
Jesus told Nicodemus in
John 3:5 that one
COULD NOT enter into the kingdom of God
UNLESS that one is born of water (Strong's Number:5204 Hudor = the element water) And the Spirit (Strong's Number:4151 Pneuma = Holy Spirit)
"Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God"
Now that's enough for me, and considering what we read in the book of Acts, which by the way is the
ONLY New Testament book that records the actual events of the conversions of first century believers of Jesus Christ.
Every book after Acts is written to those who were already converted to Christ, they were letters or epistles to the saints.
