Hi there Word of Life, I'll try to answer your question.

Let's look at the NIV translation of John 3:8

8The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.

I believe when you are baptized or born with the Spirit, Jesus makes it clear what the experience is going to be like, I don't want to sound silly or anything, but I have read the book of John and never really paid attention to this verse, it's the way I read, and it didn't have barring on what I was thinking at the time. I saw this verse a few weeks ago when I read my Bible and started to ask God about it, I believe the answer is a simple one.

Like I said at the start, when you are baptized in the Spirit, you are born of the Spirit, then you will hear the wind, but you don't know where it's coming from, or where it is going. Now, this brings new questions to my life, I profess to be saved from about 1999, but I clearly, clearly remember having this sensation as a child of about 6 or 7 years old. I heard the wind, while no wind was blowing and I didn't know where it was going! I felt a feeling like I have never felt before. I know it sounds funny, but why would I remember that day, that experience if it didn't mean something?

I believe that being born of the Spirit is quite the same and could be compared to water baptism, except, Jesus baptizes by the Spirit, not man. But what I'm getting at is that the experience, that it's something natural, but yet, spiritual, that feeling is the same.

Sorry for not answering your questions Buddy2, I just don't have the answers you are looking for.

God bless you all
Much love
