The sentence:
It is begining to rain. Put your rain-coat on.
is correct, isn't it?

So, what about this one:
It begins to rain. Put your rain-coat on.
Is it correct too?

p/s: I means they have the same meaning and I am just asking about grammar.

is correct, isn't it? Yes.

So, what about this one:
It begins to rain. Put your rain-coat on.
Is it correct too? Not in this context, because the present tense is not commonly used to state what is happening right now.
Say eg It

Hi matfever;

Raincoat is one word.

The second one is correct if you use a dependent clause.

If it begins to rain, put your raincoat on.
When it begins to rain, put your raincoat on
