Bible Note: Hank: People have gone so far as to justify infant baptism based on this account. (After all his whole household must have included infants, so they conclude.) However, verse 32 does leave much to the imagination. Fortunately, we have the complete Bible to indicate what in addition to mere belief Paul taught as essential to salvation. I'll plead as did Jude in verses 4,5: "For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe." |
