I've attached a short section from Dr. Richard Gaffin's excellent book, Perspectives on Pentecost (Presbyterian & Reformed Publishing Co., 1979, pp. 109-113).

I think this will also help you understand the "principles" involved as well as getting a sound interpretation of the relevant text you are wrestling with. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

BTW: the attached file is in .pdf format. If you would prefer it in a MS Word.doc, just ask. I can supply you with that format too.

In His Grace,
