4Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?”

1. Two Births – one natural and one spiritual.
![Page 12: You Must Be Born Again, Part 1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052411/55799535d8b42ae72b8b4e8e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2. One Birth – Spiritual birth with the water referring to water baptism.

3. Jewish Ceremonial Washing – but being born of the Spirit is in contrast to the ceremonies of the law. Jesus is using them not in contrast to each other but working together.

Pelagian View – Man’s will is not depraved – has a will
just like Adam before Adam sinned.
![Page 24: You Must Be Born Again, Part 1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052411/55799535d8b42ae72b8b4e8e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

condemned Pelagianism.

Semi-Pelagian View – Man’s will is depraved, but not fully, for without God’s help man can express faith and he is
then Born again.
![Page 26: You Must Be Born Again, Part 1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052411/55799535d8b42ae72b8b4e8e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Arminian View – similar to Semi-Pelagianism in that
man has the ability to choose Christ (special favor
given to all mankind)
![Page 28: You Must Be Born Again, Part 1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052411/55799535d8b42ae72b8b4e8e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Arminianism.
