To: metmom; one Lord one faith one baptism

That the “household “ spoken of in Acts 16:33 is those at least old enough to be made disciples is shown by vs. 32.
The word was spoken to him “and all those in his house” and THEN they were baptized.

Disciple first, baptism second. Unless One LFB wants to argue that speaking “the word” to a little baby was done or to one too young to understand what was being said.

As Matt. 3:8,9 shows the term “children” can mean adults, simply descendants, as well as the very young.

Disciple first, baptism second.

Joseph Smith would be proud....he said the church went into apostasy in the 1st century, and you agree!!
