Re: New Doctrine Emerges: NOT Forgiven at Repentan

In Acts 2:38 (KJV), Peter said, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ FOR (Greek eis) the remission of sins." According to one source, eis is translated in this way in the King James Version:

Into – 571 times

To -- 282 times

Unto -- 208 times

In -- 131 times

For -- 91 times

On -- 57 times

Toward -- 32 times

That -- 30 times

Against -- 25 times

Upon -- 25 times

At -- 20 times

Among -- 16 times

Concerning -- 5 times

“because of” – 0 times

Also if "eis" means "because of" it would also include repentance in the phrase. Thus repent and be baptize because of remission of sins. Thus forgiveness of sins is before Repentance and baptism. Which makes the whole thing make little sense.
