I have no problem believing that some did. For me, however it doesn't alter the fact that Scripture does not seem in the least bit ambiguous on the matter. That settles it for me.
Secondarily - and as I think more about it, I think it a very valid point, is Chris's normative argument. Naturally, I believe the clear Biblical reference carries more weight, but this little bit of exegesis is very compelling. (thanks, Chris)
