Searcher56, I will not change the subject until you deal with my answers. After you have done this, then we can talk about Acts 10:44-48. How can you say I have ignored what the text says? It would be interesting if you responded to the points I have made. 1] Do you have a single translation that supports your view? I assume not. 2] Prove the conjunction 'and' does not give equal important to the verbs 'repent' and 'be baptized.' I understand that the study you offered was not your own work--though you posted and reposted it several times-- and I have nothing against Morant61, but Tim eventually makes the case that both repentance AND baptism only follow salvation AND THEREFORE HAVE EQUAL FORCE. Since you do not respond, I assume you have no evidence to refute. If you could disprove this point, I would be the first to accept. But I'm still waiting for your response. 3] Deal with the fact that the verse is a Complex Compound sentence: comprised of three sentences. The first is joined to the second by the correlating conjunction 'AND' and those two are joined to the third by the correlating conjunction "AND". The second sentence literally says, and this is from the Greek, "Be baptized (singular) each one of YE (olde english for 'you' plural) in the name of Jesus Christ with a view to the remission of sins. 4] Since you offer the possibility that EIS is causal--instead of prospective, with a view to, unto, in order that, etc--then do you conclude that 'repentance' is not anymore necessary than baptism? I have to conclude that you do. Please, do not quit this important dialogue. I see that you call yourself Searcher. Then realize I mean you no harm. My purpose is not academic. In my private life, public life, and computer life :), I want to lead others to the truth. If you help me get to the truth, then I am better for it. Again, I will be glad to hash out the meaning of the Act 10 passage you refer to, but for now please deal with these points. Good day. |

Scripture ... Mat 17:24, 20:29; Mar 2:15, 3:20; Luk 10:38; Joh 2:2, 3:22 ... "And" does not always connotate equal importance, unless you think Jesus and his disciples were equal in importance. "And" does not connotate equal importance. Before you hash the Act 10 passage, I suggest you read what Tim and I have posted. |

Thanks for the suggestion. I see you have more 'breath' :) But this is not an answer. Sure the conjunction can be used as a transition, but it is not son in Acts 2:38 where two commands are given. Please stop shifting around and just stick with the verse. You are grasping. Have a good day, Disciplerami |

Do you not read. I said "'And' does not always connotate equal importance, unless you think Jesus and his disciples were equal in importance." I never said "transition". Do you look at the use of Greek words used elsewhere? You also FAILED in reading Tim's post. |
