Bible Note: Greetings Grace and Truth! No, the same doesn't apply to this verse because it is a different structure and different phrase. The phrase 'remission of sins' is not used in Acts 22:16. You would say that Paul was not saved until after he was baptized, but I would say that he was saved on the road to Damascus. The Bible Knowledge Commentary says of this verse: ************************************* " First, when was Paul saved—on the Damascus Road or at Judas’ house? Several factors suggest he was saved on the Damascus Road: (1) The gospel was presented to him directly by Christ (Gal. 1:11-12), not later by Ananias. (2) Already (Acts 22:10) Paul said he had submitted in faith to Christ. (3) Paul was filled with the Spirit before his baptism with water (9:17-18). (4) The Greek aorist participle, epikalesamenos, translated calling on His name refers either to action which is simultaneous with or before that of the main verb. Here Paul’s calling on Christ’s name (for salvation) preceded his water baptism. The participle may be trans lated, “having called on His name.”" ********************************************* Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
