“The word is the water. Baptism is a symbol of having already been washed of our sins by the blood of Jesus.
>>”Born Again” is water baptism. <<
Again, baptism is only a symbol of what has already happened.”

The “Word” is written and oral, both. It’s not water.
Our sins are not washed away by Our Lord’s death on the Cross.
“Baptism” is not a symbol. Water is used in Baptism.
That’s why “Born again” in the Protestant sense is not
what Jesus explains in John 3. The first Christians follow
Our Lord’s meaning...they all believed “Born Again” is
water Baptism.
Scripture says they are.
Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Denying what scripture says is surely a dangerous path.
