Bible Note: Again one scripture quoted by itself. Act 16:31 is a good EXAMPLE of why we who do believe need to be baptized. The story starts in Act 16:22 Paul and Silas were imprisioned and the jailer was commanded to guard them securely; 25 and after midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hyms to of praise to God. 26 and there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's chains were unfastened. 27 And when the jailer had been roused out of sleep and had seen the prison doors opened, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisioners had escaped. 28 Paul cried outwith a loud voice, saying, Do yourself not harm, for we are all here! 30 And after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" 31 And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, you and your household." 32 They spoke the word of the Lord (the entire gospel of Christ) to him together with all who were in his house. 33 And he took them that very house of the night and washed their wounds (Paul and Silas from their blows), and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household. We know they used water here to baptize because they washed their wounds also and you need water to wash wounds. Notice they went they very hour of NIGHT to be baptized after him and his household had heard the entire word of the Lord preached to them. |
