Bible Question (short): whole household rejoiced? even kids? |
Question (full): I know this is dredging up an old posting, but I have a question about using the "whole household" argument of infant baptism. In Acts 16, the jailer and his whole household were baptized. But, then in vs. 34, it states that the whole household rejoiced because they believed in the God (NLT). Doesn't that indicate that infants and small children were excluded because an infant couldn't rejoice in his believing? stephanie |
