Bible Note: EXEGESIS: I am a member of a group who meet once a week to do exegetical studies of God's word. We recently looked at the terms "in the name of" and "into the name of" and what the original Greek preposition was. It was interesting to see that in Acts the word was 'eis' and in Matthew it was 'en'. The first implies "entry into" and the second implies "on the foundation of" or "by the authority of". When you see this you see that the phrases are not contradictory but rather complementary. We are baptised "into" the name of Christ "by the authority" of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. |
