[A man asked Paul and Silas], "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
So [Paul and Silas] said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
Greetings Bible Enthusiast!When talking about being saved, we need to address baptism. Churches, denominations, even families are split up concerning this issue. Do you need to be baptized in order to be saved?
The above passage does continue with, "Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized. Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household."
(Acts 16:32-34)
God Bless You!

--FEATURED FUNNY:For years my husband denied he was an aggressive driver. That changed one day when we were out for a ride with our three-year-old, Matthew. Seeing a teaching opportunity, I began quizzing Matthew about traffic lights.
"What does a red light mean?" I asked.
"Stop."
"How about green?"
"Go."
"And yellow?"
In his best impression of Daddy, Matthew bellowed, "Hang on!"
