Jesus said that unless a person is "born again," he cannot enter into the kingdom of the heavens at John 3:3. We understand his words to apply to any of those whose hope it is to receive life in heaven, and yes we do also believe that many have the hope of heavenly life. These ones who are "born again" actually have work to do, a job, once it is that they get to heaven. The Bible says that these are "kings over the earth." (Revelation 5:10; Revelation 20:6) So a person that is "born again" does not go to heaven simply to walk on streets of gold and play harps, like the popular myth suggests, but they go there to actually perform a function. They have the job of ruling over the earth. Who do they rule over? Jesus said that there would be mild-tempered ones that would inherit the earth. (Matthew 5:5) He was repeating a prophecy in Pslams 37:10,11, and 29 that says that there will be meek ones that will inherit the earth and live forever upon it. These ones that live forever on the earth are the ones that those who are "born again" will rule over.
Jehovah's Witnesses accept Jesus' teaching that there are those who are "born again," and we look forward to the near future when they will 'rule over the earth' as Revelation 5:10 indicates.
AnswerAccording to the Bible, which teaches that all Christian believers are born again and that 'flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of God', no. Further to this, since Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in the Jesus taught in the Bible who is the almighty and eternal God and co-equal in the Godhead with the one they call Jehovah then they also lose Jehovah as well. This is so since it states in 2 John:9 'Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ hath both the Father and the Son.'Further to this, since Christian faith involves being 'born of the Spirit' and Jehovah's Witnesses explicitly deny the Bible teaching of the full deity of the Holy Spirit, they also cannot be born again since the Holy Spirit is, as a person, grieved by their teaching.
A Jehovah's Witness can certainly be born again Biblically if they accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. This would also involve them denouncing their doctrinal errors, and in so doing they would effectively be JW's in name only and may wish to leave the organisation as some choose to do.

The scribes and Pharisees were the "spiritual" leaders of the day. But they were far from the truth. Again and again Jesus tried to get them to see they were "lost sinnners" like any other person.

Why did the pharisees and teachers of religious law complain about Jesus?
They were jealous that Jesus spent time with the ordinary people. The scribes and Pharisees thought they were the spiritual people of that time.

How can you be Jesus daughter?
The Bible doesn't say we can be sons or daughters of Jesus. But the Bible does say we can be a child of God through adoption. Rom 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." Rom 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. A person can enter in this relationship with God by being born again, Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
How many denominations of Christianity believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ?
Just about all I would say, because you are not a Christian unless you believe in Jesus, and that includes believing that he was crucified and rose again.
