The word interpretted wind, is the same word Jesus was using for Spirit. The only ones that go off on some wind tangent are the nonSpirit filled interpreters that didn't get it. The Greek word for bloweth refers to breathing.
Joh 20:22 - And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
Yet they didn't receive the Holy Ghost until Pentecost. This was a simple forshadowing.
Back to John 3:8, The word for sound is the Greek word for voice.
He's talking to Nicodemus about a voice that you can't understand that you hear. So is everyone born of the Spirit. We've seen it ever since Pentecost.
I'm sure that God touched your life at an early age, but we see evidence of such a thing in the Word even when people didn't receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. God Bless, Theo.

Ignore 1 John .. you're call, Theo ...
Felicity ... Theo doesn't think you would have entered the Kingdom at age 6 .... if God, forbid you would have gone home ... but I do ....and His Word does too. He just thinks you were touched by God.
