For Jesus gave us clearly. That beautiful message of salvation when he spoke to Nicodemus and ruler of the Jews, a Pharisee one of the Sanhedrin.

John 3:1-8
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.


Your reasoner is not working.
What you are failing to grasp is that the Christ's words concerning the new birth were prophetic in nature and would be fulfilled and implemented at Pentecost. The ushering in of the new birth was the ushering in the new covenant and the abolition of the Law with it's ordinances, including the tithe Jesus rebuked the pharisees over.
