Herein lies the debate Ms. B.
The term aphesis directly linked to repentance in scripture many times ...
the only verse that some believe ties both repentance and baptism in CAUSING aphesis is
Acts 2:38 ....
yet theologians on both sides debate the word "eis" ... or "for" to the cows come home .... some say it is a causal for ... others say its a resultant for ....
I will post my thoughts on the forgiveness is different from remission myth .... in a different thread as to give Mizpeh an opportunity to gather her thoughts and share her doctrinal support for her view on this thread ... and not get it tangled with a topic that is just as poignant.
