Dan, I'm responding the Baron's comment that he did not think Paul/Saul repented on the Damascus road. My assertion is that Paul did repent on the Damascus road as evidenced by his reaction to Jesus and subsequent fasting. And because Paul repented, Ananias telling Paul to "arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord" does not make sense IF, according to one steppers, Paul's sins were already remitted when he repented since there would be not further need of a "washing".
My head is in the game, Dan. It would be helpful if you had read the entire conversation I was having with the Baron before accusing me of throwing out red herrings and creating rabbit trails.
