Carl:
I did my initial search as previously specified below:

You came up with 297. After Iver's post I decided to do a search on
Peter, James and John with the same criteria and got 31 hits. Of those
there were 7 occurrences of AKOLOUQEIN, one occurrence of TIQHMI, one
aorist passive. Hence 9 out of 31 hits had to be discarded as not being
future passive forms, leaving 22 future passives.
I'd be curious to see what you get doing an Accordance search using your
same criteria on Peter, James, and John and manually check the results.
I can't imagine you'd get different results. If you get the same as I,
then surely the total NT count must be significantly less than our 296 or
297, something closer to 200.
Am just trying to get to the bottom of this and not desiring to prove
anybody right or wrong. Please continue your patience. Thanks.
