Luke (Acts 2:21) and Paul (Romans 10:13) quote Joel 2:32 "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." However, these passages do not contain a reference to "your household." but Acts 16:31 does: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household." This was what Paul and Silas said to the Philippiann jailer in response to his question, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" (Acts 16:30). If you question turns on the word "household" as I suspect it may, you may wish to compare the usage in Acts 16:31 with John 4:53 as well as with Acts 11:14. And, as always, it is best to read all these passages in both their immediate context and in the broader context of what the Bible teaches on the subject of soteriology. --Hank | ||||||
