Funny, from the looks of things it is you who needs to dig deeper....You clearly have not done your homework:
Dr. Paul Ferguson, "The Acts of Jesus Christ," pg. 83:
"get your sins washed away by having his name called over you."
M. D. Treece, "The Literal Word," Acts vol. 2, pg. 240:
"...wash away your sins having his name called upon you."
Talmadge French, A.T.F. Journal, pg. 102:
"The circumstantial participle [calling] is non-articular [lacking the definite article] and non-specific [meaning] having the name called over yourself."
Thank God for biblical salvation!

Dr. Paul Ferguson, The Acts of Jesus Christ. Can't find it. Is it such an obscure work that you can't give a source for it? Oneness pentecostal fella I guess.
M.D. Treese, The Literal Word. Another rare obscure work by a oneness pentecostal?
Talmadge French, A.T.F. Journal. Yet another oneness pentecostal source which is so meaningless that those outside the oneness pentecostal sect have never heard of such.
You gotta realize, your scholarly sources are neither scholarly or unbiased. This is a joke, right? You're like the Jehovah's Witnesses publishing 'scholarly' works by Jehovah's Witnesses. It would be humorous if the work was not so poor and biased.
Your 'biblical' salvation hinges on the confession of someone like Epley speaking on your behalf, not your own according to your flawed interpretation of
Acts 22:16. You wish to take the individual calling upon the name of the Lord for himself and replace him with someone else. Just stay silent and let the preacher obtain your salvation, you say, but that's not what the language of the passage says at all. Rewrite scripture to state that it's teaching that Ananias is calling on the name of the Lord for Paul's salvation but that's just a complete bastardization of the greek text.
You wish for an individual to obtain salvation through another man's 'correct' works, having faith in a man's (the oneness pentecostal priest) work instead of Christ's work. And yes, Christ does have a finished work which is of course absolutely destroys your salvation through the preacher's work theology. That's why you're sick of the finished work of Christ.
You base your salvation on someone else's confession, their proper righteous works on your behalf. Of course that's taught nowhere in the bible, including
Acts 22:16, but that doesn't prevent you from proclaiming the Romanist salvation theology at all. The only thing that's missing from your theology of salvation by the confession of another man on your behalf is a funny looking fish hat and a backward collar.
