Subject: Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? |
Bible Note: It is in my notes ... but, I have done soem searching and stand corrected. Nonetheless, 'metanoesate kai baptistheto hekastos hymon'. Here, an aorist active imperative (second person plural) verb states a condition (protasis) upon which the fulfillment (apodosis) of another verb in the aorist imperative (third person singular) depends, and hence the mood and person establishes the force of that second verb as "each one of you must be baptized" (cf. D.B. Wallace, "Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics [Zondervan, 1996], p. 486). Furthermore, Peter establishes the partitive genitive pronoun, 'hekastos hymon', as the subject of baptism, with "you" being in the plural. |
