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: Repent and Baptism for same number? |
Bible Note: Greetings Disciplerami! I know that will probably never see eye to eye on Acts 2:38, but why do you keep saying that the Greek is the same in both verses? They aren't! Just to note a few of the differences: In Acts 2:3, the phrase is 'each of them' (3rd person pronoun). There isn't any imperative, not a result clause. The phrase 'each of them' is the direct object, not the subject. In Acts 2:38, the phrase is 'each of you' (2nd person pronoun). The phrase is the subject of the clause. And it is mixed in with other clauses, with which it cannot be grammatically connected. For the Greek to be the 'same', both verse would have to say the same thing in exactly the same way. This is not the case with these two verses. Acts 2:3 does not support in any way your intepretation of Acts 2:38. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
