NASB | Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, "Repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways, accept and follow Jesus as the Messiah] and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ because of the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
Bible Question (short): disciplerami, a disciple before baptism? |
Question (full): In Matthew 28:18-20 the command is to go. When they go they are to make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit teaching them to observe all that I commanded you ... Can one be made a disciple before the are baptized? I don't think so ... so your view of Acts 2:38 may need rethinking. Unless your view of a disciple (to follow his precepts and instructions) isn't the same as the Bible's. |
