No one else is gone thru the rebirth that Nicodemus was told about? Only that one denomination ... interesting.

No, not one denomination only.

Messiah didn't tell us to go have a spiritual journey of growth to become Born Again. He preached the Gospel and He told us to preach the Gospel and said He would return once the Gospel had been preached to the whole world.
That the beginning of the journey. What happens after one is born? One grows. It's all part of new life. One grows or one dies, there is no in between.

What happens after one is born?
The question of the OP regards being born-again, not just being born.

Joh_3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Joh_3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Joh_3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Joh_3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Joh_3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Joh_3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

So who, other than Yeshua Himself, fits that description????

Every born again believer that has died with Christ and been raised to new life in Christ.

And who would that be? Died and resurrected?

Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

or anything special?
Oh, certainly.
the most happy and peaceful people ever. I was amazed at how sincere and devoted to Jesus they where. I can't help but want to share the same passion they have for Jesus and life!
Seek out faithful born again believers who you can see, and talk with them, in person.
