The fact is the Scripture does not distinguish between the two.

Sam is correct on this.

No sir. eis (FOR) found in Acts 2:38 gets to mean mulitple things!

that IS the arguement. what does it mean HERE.

I still say Brother Wiggens post was dead on accurate.

Sure words have more than one meaning but giving them an artificial meaning based on the English translation is a deplorable way to apply interpret Scripture. The context doesn't lend itself to multiple definitions, in fact many version do use the same word.

Im sorry, I didnt realize giving the word "for" a definition of "for" was an artificaial meaning based on the english translation.


eis means for.


its usage is the same as the english word for.


but how ever you cut it, I am glad we are both FOR baptism.
