I believe that vss.5&6 go together. The water meaning natural birth.From vs.6 (flesh is flesh) and vs6 (Spirit is spirit). I do not believe this is referring to water baptism because in other scripture water baptism takes place after salvation. The thief on the cross went into paradise with Jesus without water baptism so salvation CAN take place without it. Not saying it is not important.I believe water baptism is symbolic of the death and ressurection of Jesus.
