Bible Note: Greetings Jcsav! Nothing in Dr. Robertson's quote says anything about the crowd repenting prior to Peter's comments. Dr. Robertson is simply saying that the command to 'be baptized' is addressed to those who, after repenting, are saved. Nothing in the text would forbid the crowd from repenting after Peter's command is issued. As for 'eis', 'at' is just another way of saying 'as a result of' or 'because of' my friend. Translations of prepositions are very fluid. If you look in a good lexicon, you will see numerous possible translations for 'eis'. One of the possible translations is 'at', 'because of', or 'as a result of'. The clearest example of this usage is found in Mt. 12:41. Did Jonah preach because Nineveh repented or did Niveveh repent because Jonah preached? ;-) Clearly, Nineveh repented 'because of' Jonah's preaching. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
