I'm just not understanding the scriptures the way you do. Where can I find being born of water and Spirit happens at repentance. Is it a feeling or is there scripture to agree with what you believe?

I believe that when Jesus said you must be born of the water AND the Spirit, that He meant spiritual birth, as well as natural birth (Nic only had understood the natural birth--of the water). Where does the Bible say being born again means speaking in tongues?
