1 | To be saved must we be baptised? | Acts 2:38 | Morant61 | 77989 | ||
Greetings Disciplerami! Let me try on more time! Show me a verse, where 'each' is used, that follows this pattern: "Each of you they receive...." This is what you are claiming for Acts 2:38. Each time 'each' is used, all of the pronouns and verbs associated with it are singular in number. The 'each' clause can appear in the middle of a sentence, but everything associated with that clause will be singular in number. You wrote: "The plural pronoun follows, no one has said it is antecedent. The antecedent of the plural pronoun is the singular verb. The singular verb is followed by HEKASTOS, emphasizing the entire YE." This is not what Thayer claimed for 'each'. He said that 'each' can be used alongside plural pronouns and verbs in an appositional sense. He did not say that each can then be referred to by a plural pronoun. Each is singular, not plural. I realize that your doctrinal beliefs depend upon this ungrammatical interpretation of Acts 2:38, but it just doesn't work. Thayer is saying that 'each' is appositional in this case, which is what I have been claiming all along! ;-) I have to get ready for small group my friend! I'm sure that we will chat more later. If necessary, I'll start charting out each use of 'each' in the NT, and show you what I mean! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hey, guys, I've been sporadically watching this string get stringier and stringier. Remember the thief on the cross? "One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, "Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!" But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? "And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong." And he was saying, "Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!" And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." (Luk 23:39-43) Jesus didn't mention baptism. Then there's Acts: and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." And they spoke the word of the Lord to him together with all who were in his house. And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household. And he brought them into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, having believed in God with his whole household. (Act 16:30-34) So believe, speak, then baptize, if you can baptize, but it's not necessary for salvation. Imagine you're in a foxhole under an artillery barrage. Your buddy leads you to Christ but says you've got to go jump in a lake. You, wanting to be with the Lord, sprint towards that body of water 100 yards hither and are hit in the bean and blown to vapor. Next thing you know you're with the Lord, who tells you that your buddy was dead wrong. Ouch. |
