“Man” and “he” are parallel. Entering the kingdom and being saved are parallel. Thus, whatever stands between the “man” and the “kingdom” is the same thing standing between the “he” and “salvation”. What is that? Being born again.
What stands between the “he” and being “saved”? Believing and being baptized. So what does it mean to be born again? It means to become a baptized believer.
