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. |
Subject: To be saved must we be baptised? |
Bible Note: Acts 2:8 grammar is like grammar in Acts 2:38. "And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?" In the Greek, "hear" is plural, while "each" [hekastos) is singular but it is used with "our own" which is plural. Tim (nice guy) Moran argues that this can't happen in the Greek, but Luke says it can. Luke does the same thing with Acts 2:38: Repent (plural) and each (singular) be baptized for the forgiveness (plural) of sins. Disciplerami |
