Hello Kayla, it may take some time as you are only 17 and still subject to your parents. I do believe the phrase you uttered was from the Holy Spirit, 'Jesus was born of the Spirit not of the flesh. In the creed of the Orthodox Church we recite the following:

Who for us men and for our salvation
came down from heaven and was incarnate
of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became man.


In fact the testimony you gave also has a direct correlation to your question on baptism.

The gospel of John 1.12-14 says:

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

The Lord Jesus Christ drives the point home (John 3.4-6)

Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
