Acts 4:1-12
Has anyone noticed that in this passage the person at the center of the healing never was "saved" in a way that means he become a believer? I certainly think that happened, but it seems more appropriate that Peter's concluding remark, "There is salvation in no one else", means that salvation is about healing and restoration. The man was "saved" when he was restored to the person he was intended to be, which was neither a lame person nor a beggar completely dependent on whatever coin was pitched his way. Makes me wonder if we don't too narrowly define salvation many times rather than letting it have the broad and inclusive meaning that it was meant to have.
