I have a feeling that you are never going to change you position on this issue. I will move on with one last parting shot. You are really having to do alot of grammatical gymnastics to come to your stance. I know you don't see it that way. God Bless, Sniper |

Greetings Sniper! You are correct about one thing and incorrect about another. I seriously doubt that I will ever see baptism as necessary for salvations because salvation is not based upon anything I DO. (see eph. 4:8-10). :-) But, you are incorrect that I do not see Acts 2:38 that way. Grammar has rules. God knows grammar! :-) Acts 2:38 just can't be made to say what you say - it violates the rules of grammar. But, I appreciate the dialogue! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

My brother in our Lord, Tim, God's day to you, It is apparent some just want to read the English. I wonder and have asked why Acts 2:38 is not translated, so Campbelites and others can try to use it to say we need to be baptized to be saved. I've never rec'd a clear answer. I'll be away until Sunday night ... if a post needs attention, will you cover for me? I know we differ on the "beds issue". Steve |

Greetings Steve! I thought we agreed on the 'beds issue'! I agree that it is the most likely reading in the manuscripts. As far as Acts 2:38 is concerned, I think that the problem is simply one with the English language. We don't have as clear a system of pronouns as does Greek. So, the translators were trying to be literal, but this is one case where being too literal in English is misleading! :-) Have a great weekend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
