網友討論:施洗與受洗的涵義

思齊
施洗和受洗在原文裡是沒有區分的,翻譯不同而已
主耶穌要我們 奉父子聖靈的名 給萬民施洗(Mat28:19)

聖經記載的早期教會都是 奉耶穌基督的名 施洗/受洗(Act 10:48 中文用施洗, Act2:38, Act8:12, Act8:16, Act19:5), 而原文中Mat28:19的施洗 和Act 各經節里的受洗 用的同一個字(G907)

Act 10:48 就吩咐奉耶穌基督的名給他們施洗。他們又請彼得住了幾天。

早期教會為什麼不 奉父子聖靈的名 而是 奉耶穌基督的名 給人施洗呢? 教會是從什麼時候開始改變為 奉父子聖靈的名 的呢?

The same word but in different voice.
施洗: baptize, baptizing (active voice)
受洗: baptized (passive voice)

片兒警

捧一本辭典就要讀通原文實在是難事，畢竟還有語法的問題。

多參考各種譯本，如果他們在語法上的翻譯（例如被動語態主動語態的表達上）相當一致，我們就應該扔了我們手裡的辭典了。

我想區別不在施洗還是受洗,
早期教會可能真的是把 父子聖靈的名 等同於 耶穌基督的名,沒有加以區分,就象那時候也沒有"三位一體"的提法,估計是提出"三位一體"的神學名詞後,尤其是定下聖父不是聖靈不是聖子的主張以後,才去區分 父子聖靈的名 與 主耶穌基督的名.而這以前,就是早期教會,人們的理解中這兩者是一樣的.

Onoma (name) is singular in Matthew 28:19.
The singular "onoma" (name) of the plural persons Father, Son, and Holy Spirit must be the same shared "onoma" (name) of the Father, or of the Son (our Lord Jesus Christ), or of the Holy Spirit.

So baptizing in(to) the "onoma" (name) of the Lord is the same as baptizing in(to) the "onoma" (name) of the holy trinity.

We cannot extrapolate, however, that because they share one "onoma", the Father is none other than the Son who is none other than the Holy Spirit who is none other than the Father in personhood. They are one in "onoma" (name) as well as the same shared divinity (Godhead).

The holy "onoma" is shared with equal honor and privilege by all three mmembers of the holy trinity.

The question can be rephrased as
Instead of asking 早期教會為什麼不 奉父子聖靈的名 而是 奉耶穌基督的名 給人施洗呢? 教會是從什麼時候開始改變為 奉父子聖靈的名 的呢?

We can ask: Why did Acts record the baptism in the name of our Lord in the apostolic church age? Is that an abridged shorthand of saying the singular name of the holy trinity? Is it contrary to the direct command by Jesus as recorded in Matthew 28? Since when has the church reverted back to follow verbatim the direct command of Jesus?

你的問法更準確,
我想,早期教會可能真是沒有區分這兩者.
