Bible Question:
Why does Peter tells us to "Repent and be baptized..." in ACTS 2:38? |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Matt 28:19-20, Acts 2:38 ... kevinjboyer, greetings. It is because it is what he was told to do (Matt 28:19-20). Based on the thread, I'll add this 'Repent' is an Aorist, Active, Imperative, 2nd Person, Plural. This would indicate a command to do something that would occur at a point in time regardless of the time of the action. 'Recieve' is also in the same tense. 'Be Baptized' is an Aorist, Passive, Imperative, 3rd Person, Singular. This would indicate a command to allow something to be done to you at a particular point in time regardless of when the action occurs. Searcher |
