Charles ,

Could you expand this question a little? 

I took a look at 30 occurrences ofARNEOMAI in the GNT and found two with
compound accusatives but none with what I would call a double
accusative. In 1 John 2:22 and Titus 2:12 we have compound accusatives
with KAI. 

In 2Tim 2:12,13 we have tree occurrences of ARNEOMAI (two finite and one
infinitive) each with a single accusative. So I am a little puzzled
about how the issue of a double accusative could apply here.

Could you clarify? 

Thanks.
