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 Note: Repent, resulting in the forgiveness of sins. Have to be incorrect. There is no forgiveness of sin without the shedding of blood (Matt 26:28). Water and Blood cleanse and Purify. Not repentance. Repentance changes ones views and purpose in order to accept the will of God in your inner self instead of rejecting it. So you can not possibily reject the commandment to be baptised if you have truly repented for it is, the will of God. Both conditions must be meet in order to receive the Holy Ghost, in the sense of being born into the kingdom. One without the other is not according to Scripture (the one Baptism). If Jesus used the same word/phrase then isn't it reasonable to believe Peter's commandment, by inspiration and sent by Jesus , would mean the exact same thing. And what Bible translation uses such a interperation as the one you have came up with. Are you wiser than they? |
