Thanks, I am more interested in lexical studies. I am also searching for
any research articles published on imperatival participles.

As I recall, the structure of Matthew's Greek shows distinct Semitic
influence, particularly in syntax. Which is why I think it is right to
translate the
text "Go, therefore, and make disciples" even though the first verb is a
ptc.
However, the following two verbs, translated "baptize and teach all I have
mandated," I think very much are subordinate and denotes means, that is, how
disciple-making is accomplished (and it begins with baptism [!], which this
Lutheran admits to relishing).
The tense of the final two verbs pretty much suggests this relation, at
least
some subordinate one.
