Subject: Repent and Baptism for same number? |
Bible Note: Disciplerami, You asked ... "Are the people being told to be baptized in Acts 2:38 the same number, no more or less, than those being told to repent?" I answered ... "We don't know the number who were told to repent ... we are told a crowd (vs 6) and 3,000 accepted the message and were baptized (vs 41). Since verse 6 doesn't say, the anwser is we don't know. In Acts 4:4, we see the number 5,000 ... if these added were part of the crowd ... the answer is no." You asked, "Are the same people that the Holy Spirit fell on in Acts 2:3 the same number, no more or less, as those whom it appeared to?" I answered ... "Verse 1 says they were "all together", verse 3 says "each of them" and verse 4 says "all of them" ... so the answer is yes." Did I not answer your question? If I answered it wrong, you should have clarified it ... maybe you asked it wrong, when you didn't ask about the numbers based on the Greek pronouns. Which I since showed you Tim (and I) have already answered. Searcher |
