Are all of these correct or some of them unnatural? If all are correct, do they mean the same thing?

1. I insist on you being on time.
2. I insist on your being on time.
3. I insist (that) you be on time.
 
The third one is okay only with "that".

They all mean the same thing.
 
The second sentence is more formal.
