1 | Acts 16:33 and infant baptism. | Acts 16:33 | Huron | 125066 | ||
Interesting angle, but I'm not sure that Peter, Paul, and the rest of the Apostles endorsed, or even allowed people to baptize themselves for their loved ones. Actually, it's a little unclear exactly what Paul meant in this verse. In any case, as far as I can tell, it's the only time in the NT that that phrase is used. Huron |

2 | Acts 16:33 and infant baptism. | Acts 16:33 | Country Girl | 125067 | ||
I would have to side with the fact that babies were NOT part of the household because they could believe, repent or confess the name of Jesus. This is further endorsed by the probable fact that the jailer was most likely an older man and thus all his kids would have been mature enough to have obeyed the gospel. Just my opinion. Blessings to you all. Country Girl |

Sometimes I feel like a nut: I left an important word, see below. I would have to side with the fact that babies were NOT part of the household because they could NOT believe, repent or confess the name of Jesus. Blessings to you. Country Girl |

Hi, Country Girl! Query: How many hours of preaching were required before baptizing people onto the Faith, several hours, dozens, hundreds? How did the disciples know that all who were preahed to understood and believed? Would there be a distinction on the amount of time required from those who were "slow" learners as opposed to those who were "fast" learners? These questions are not to confound but to enlighten... we must not determine for the Holy Spirit who is spiritually aware and who is dense! Jesus said that many who were last would be first (mostly in reference to the Jews and the Gentiles) but He also made this comparison in reference to those who are as children, trusting and eager to learn, and those who are wise in the ways of the world and can never be taught--they already know all (Masters of the Law, Pharisees, Sadducees...). What Jesus did was innovative so the very first disciples would be grown adults; but Jesus never rejected children as being inmature and unable to receive the Holy Spirit! (Matthew 18:3-4; 19:13-15) God Bless! Angel |
