Teaching - Born again

Born again confusion There is so much confusion about what it means to be 'born again'. Some believe that joining a church full of Born-againers makes then born again. Some think that having an emotional experience is the key. To some it is not an experience but an obedience in walking an aisle and declaring Christ as Lord. For some it is when the Holy Spirit descends upon you with signs and wonders and you come away speaking in tongues. The notarikon of the word 'born' yalad ילד makes it's meaning clear.
'Yalad' is the 'hand יד of teaching ל, where 'hand' is a symbol of works. Being born is the work of being taught. When you are born, you are like Adam, you are separated from God by ignorance; Elohim. You must be taught to know him. It is the beginning of that work. He began the good work in you, and he will finish it.
Being 'born again' means that you are taught again. Like the Hebrews at Passover, you have put aside the old teaching of the law, and have been taught by Christ of the new teaching of peace, or the New Jerusalem.
Jesus said you must be born of water ים, representing teaching by being the lives of the people who were created י and then finished by the son ם. He said you must also be born of the Spirit, or taught by the Spirit. Incidentally, Spirit ruwach רוח means 'revelation ר clarified ו for understanding ח. It is the Spirit who helps you understand what you have been taught.
He said that man does not live by bread alone ; a symbol of the cross , since he said it was his body given for us, but by every word from the mouth of God (water).
Being born again is the same as being the bride of Christ; you are taught by Christ, by his Spirit. It is the same as being Israel; man joined to God by revelation. It is the same as being a member of the kingdom of heaven; having entered into his teaching.
The word 'ab' אב for father, also means green shoot and fruit on a tree. The nature of a father is to produce life. The green shoot is evidence of the Father giving us out first life. The fruit on the tree ( a symbol of the cross) indicates he has given us our second life as well. Being born again is being the fruit of the cross.
