According to Joseph Smith, the principles of rebirth are strict and exact, and unless man obeys them in the way which has been ordained of God he cannot acquire eternal life. He must first be born to see the kingdom of God. Then he must be born of water and of the Spirit to enter the kingdom. This process has been taught by prophets in all ages of time. It does not place total reliance upon either the action of the Spirit or the role of ordinances, but upon both. Being born again comes by the Spirit of God through ordinances. In this way the power of God is manifested to make man a son of God.
