Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper, given at the Edinburgh Christology Conference 2002, challenges the reading of Acts 4:12 that supports a restrictive attitude to the possibility of salvation for non-Christians. It first of all sets out what the text does and does not teach, and considers the problems posed by reading it with presuppositions as has frequently been the case. Instead it is proposed that the text be read within its wider context and a case is made for a less restrictive interpretation. The implications of this for a theology of missions are also examined. [A version of this paper also appeared in Crockett and Sigountos, eds.: Through No Fault of Their Own?: The Fate of Those Who Have Never Heard (Grand Rapids, Mich: Baker Book House, 1991).]

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
