Why is Jesus' path to Heaven considered blasphemy by some of those who follow Paul?

The verse quoted can not be found in any respected translation;it reads like a new age Bible verse.Actually Jesus made it clear that no one will receive salvation unless He or God sends the Holy Spirit to them,an extremely selective (pre-screened) event.:all mighty:
John 3:3-7
3Jesus replied, "I tell you for certain that you must be born from above before you can see God's kingdom!"
4Nicodemus asked, "How can a grown man ever be born a second time?"
5Jesus answered:
I tell you for certain that before you can get into God's kingdom, you must be born not only by water, but by the Holy Spirit. 6Humans give life to their children. Yet only God's Spirit can change you into a child of God. 7Don't be surprised when I say that you must be born from above.
