11. READ: ACTS 16:16-40
d. Then what did they speak to the jailer and his household?
Answer: After stating that belief in the Lord Jesus was necessary for salvation, they then proceeded to speak the Word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house, (verse 32).
From The Acts of the Apostles From Jerusalem to Rome by Wayne Jackson:
Merely introducing the "Lord Jesus," of course, does not provide sufficient information to constitute the basis for obedient faith; accordingly, they "spoke the Word of the Lord to him, along with all who were in his house." Doubtless the brethren told of the birth, teaching, miracles, death, and resurrection of the Savior. There is a basic level of Truth one must understand in order to be saved. Carefully note that the message was proclaimed to "all" within his household (slaves, family, etc.). This certainly does not suggest "infants," as though this text provided some evidence for infant baptism. J.H. Blunt, a cleric of the Church of England, conceded: "Now it would appear from this statement, that the baptized were those to whom the Word of the Lord was preached, who assuredly were not infants" (343-44; emp. in original).
