Unbelievable that the author is dividing the human race into two human races without defining the terms. Is twice-born a movie, a singing group or Hindu social system?

Nope...It's a term used by Christians who have been born twice...Born once in a natural birth (water) and born a second time in a spiritual (Spirit) birth...We were born once, and then born again, from above...

I presume that he meant Baptism like the Sacrament initiated by Jesus in the Jordan that forgives original and actual sin.

Nope...Getting water baptized is not a new birth...

We need to endure and follow Christ’s path and live by Jesus’s two great commandments. God’s Truth will prevail.
Our role is to spread the Good News and by example bring as many as we can to God.

Again, nope...A twice born person learns to trust the words of God put to paper by God...Being an example will bring no one to a 2nd birth...Bringing people to God is not the 2nd birth...

You must read to people or tell people or show people in the scriptures...

Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

The first birth is covered in John 1:13; “Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man..”. No water mentioned as a sign of first birth.

For you position to have any force, you need John 3:6 to read: “That which is born of the water is flesh....”.

Acts 2:38.........is it from heaven or of men?
