<DIV align=justify>As far as Acts 2:38, is not the same preposition found in
Luke 11:32, translated as "<EM><STRONG>at</STRONG></EM>".</DIV>
<DIV align=justify> </DIV>
<DIV align=justify><EM>The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgement with
this generation, and condemn it: for they repented ‘<STRONG>at’ </STRONG>the
preaching of Jonah.</EM></DIV>
<DIV align=justify> </DIV>
<DIV align=justify>In other words, the men of Nineveh repented ‘because of’ the
preaching of Jonah.</DIV>
<DIV align=justify> </DIV>
<DIV align=justify><EM>The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgement with
this generation, and condemn it: for they repented ‘<STRONG>because of'</STRONG>
the preaching of Jonah.</EM></DIV>
<DIV align=justify><BR>Likewise believers ought to be baptized ‘because of’ the
remission of sin. Would not then an appropriate translation of ‘<EM>eis’ </EM>in
Acts 2:38 be ‘because of’‘. </DIV>
<DIV align=justify> </DIV>
<DIV align=justify><EM>Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of
you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ <STRONG>'because of' </STRONG>the
remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."</EM></DIV>
