  • THE ISSUE of REBAPTISM at Issue Is How We Are to Understand the Purpose of Baptism As Well As the Mode of Baptism
    THE ISSUE OF REBAPTISM At issue is how we are to understand the purpose of baptism as well as the mode of baptism. If baptism if for the purpose of receiving forgiveness from God for past sins, then one does not have salvation prior to baptism - because salvation cannot be granted us while we are still in our sinful state. If baptism is not for the purpose of receiving forgiveness for past sins, then it is not essential to salvation because our sinful state was changed prior to baptism. In this case, baptism is understood as a required rite, but one that only "testifies" to the forgiveness, acceptance, that God has already granted us. One key text in this discussion (but not the only one) is Acts 2:38. Below are several English translation renderings of this text. King James Version - "for the remission of sins. American Standard Version - "unto the remission of sins. New King James Version - "for the remission of sins." New International Version - "for the forgiveness of your sins." Revised Standard Version - "for the forgiveness of your sins." New Revised Standard Version - "so that your sins may be forgiven." New American Standard Bible - " for the forgiveness of your sins." World English Bible - "for the forgiveness of sins." Bible in Basic English - "for the forgiveness of your sins." Contemporary English Version - "so that your sins will be forgiven." Good News Bible - "so that your sins will be forgiven." God's Word - "so that your sins will be forgiven." Young's Literal Translation - "to remission of sins." Modern King James Version

  • New Testament Scripture Comparisons
    New Testament Scripture Comparisons 1 Here is a list of factors that can influence the outcome of any given Bible translation. The: 1) Translation criteria (word for word, thought for thought, … etc.); 2) Writing style; 3) Religious beliefs and character of the translators; 4) Reference notes & other study aides; and 5) Underlying Hebrew & Greek texts used. The first four factors will most influence whether an individual will “like” the translation on a non-critical level. 2 This presentation is not about the first four factors: It is about: The Greek texts used in translating the New Testament. 3 It is our hope that after seeing this presentation, you will: Become motivated to prove for yourself whether your favorite Bible translation preserves the sanctity of God’s Word. Recall that we are to: Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. (1 Thes. 5:21 AV)* *AV = Authorized Version 4 “… there are really only two kinds of Greek New Testaments – the Received Text and the Modern Critical Text.“ Ref.: Floyd Nolen Jones; http://www.biblebelievers.com/Floyd_Jones/Jones_Ripped5.html 5 Our goal is to present evidence that: Most of the New Testament translations copyrighted from the year 1901 AD an onward, are based on the Modern Critical Text; and, Only a few are based on the Received Text. 6 To illustrate the differences between these two texts, without the need of being literate in Greek, we will compare the resulting English translations. Key New Testament Scriptures in the Authorized (King James) Version and 26 modern English translations will be compared.

    Which English Translation of the Bible is Best for You? A Comparison of over 30 English Translations of the Bible by Gary Kukis Updated November 2, 20071 This is not a work which requires you to begin reading on page 1 and continue on to page2 and then page 3. Quite likely, you may want to skip over much of this and go directly to the Summary Table (which is followed by some very important tables. At a glance, you will learn what you need to about your translation and about the others which are out there. Once you have looked over some of the tables, then you may have an interest in reading about a particular translation or two.
