Dutch term or phrase: gaat niet op bij
Hand. 2:38, 39 gaat niet op bij de ‘eerst Abraham’, want op het zendingsveld kunnen de heidenen gewoon een catechisatie studie gaan doen, belijdenis doen en gedoopt worden al dan niet door onderdompeling. Dus door een studie en georganiseerde belijdenis zijn ze dan bekeerd.

This is in a Dutch book explaining the difference in mindset between evangelical and reformed theologians.

The target audience is English speaking people.

The term occurs in a section about the "Natural Birth Covenant" ("Een natuurlijk geboorte verbond") and sub heading "But does the average reformed person actually realise what this birth covenant entails?" ("Maar beseft de gereformeerde zelf wel wat dit geboorte-verbond inhoudt?")
