Bible Question: I'm wondering who was all included in "your household" in those times? |
Bible Answer: You and your household. 'All of his (the jailer's) family, servants, and guests who could comprehend the gospel and believe heard the gospel and believed. This does not include infants' (MacArthur Study Bible, note at Acts 16:31). NASB Acts 16:31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." '"and your household." These words must be connected with "believe" as well as "be saved." Each member of the household must believe in order to be saved' (Ryrie Study Bible). * * * * * * * * * * * * * www.seekfind.org Christian Search Engine The mission of SeekFind.org is to provide God-honoring, Biblically-based, and theologically-sound Christian search engine results in a highly accurate and well-organized format. |
