What does Jesus mean in <a class="rtBibleRef" href= "https://biblia.com/bible/esv/John%203.5" data-reference="John 3.5" data-version="esv" data-purpose="bible-reference">John 3:5</a> when he says that “unless one is born of water <em>and</em> the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God,” or Peter when he says baptism “now saves us” in <a class="rtBibleRef" href= "https://biblia.com/bible/esv/1%20Pet%203.21" data-reference= "1 Pet 3.21" data-version="esv" data-purpose="bible-reference">1 Peter 3:21</a>?
