“And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to SUFFER, and to RISE from the DEAD the THIRD day: And that REPENTANCE and REMISSION of SINS should be PREACHED in HIS NAME among ALL NATIONS, beginning at JERUSALEM. And ye are WITNESSES of these things. And, behold, I send the PROMISE of my FATHER upon YOU: but TARRY ye in the city of JERUSALEM, until ye be ENDUED with POWER from on HIGH.” (Lk 24:46-49)

After the resurrection of Jesus Christ he told his disciples to preach repentance and remission of sin in his name beginning at Jerusalem. They were to go to Jerusalem to wait for the promise of the Holy Ghost being poured out upon them so that they could begin teaching the born again process of God, the plan of salvation for all of mankind. When the day of Pentecost was fully come the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the believers. “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” (Acts 2:4) This was noised abroad and the Apostle Peter with the other eleven Apostles told everyone, including you and I, how we are to be born again. “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” (Acts 2:38-39)

Notice that “repentance and remission of sins” was preached “beginning at Jerusalem” after they had been “endued with power” of the Holy Ghost and that “repentance and remission of sins” was “preached in his name”. “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Saying “For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”

Have you been born again according to the scriptures you just read? It was for “even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” Are you called? This is the only way to be born again and to enter into the kingdom of God.
