Are we not taught to accept the whole counsel of God? But you’re going to accept one Scripture as the total truth of God? What of the rest of Scripture, such as those that have been quoted to you here, by other FReepers?
You must be born again. John 3:16 tells you how to do that. But the majority of the REST of the New Testament, tells us how to live, AFTER we have received Jesus. Paul speaks of baby Christians, and differentiates between them and mature Christians, in how they receive the meat of the Word, not just the milk of the Word that a new Christian knows.
You are absolutely not “ born sgain”. That is another horrible, and I intentional ,mistranslation in the “king James”. 1600 years after the resurrection. The original true words of God” we’re “ born from above”. Look it up. When you believe in Jesus as the Son of God , you are born from above.— spiritually. Automatically. We are badly misled from salvation on purpose
