Ha, moving the goal posts I see. The original statement said show you one verse where someone was baptized who had not repented.
No verse can be shown stating the jailers family repented.
Can you produce one?
Believing in God is not repentance.

Believing in God is not repentance.

It most certainly is...To prove the point Paul, in the 'church epistles' never tells anyone to repent...No once...He teaches people to 'believe on Jesus Christ'...

Repentance is a change of mind...A change of direction in thinking and belief...Repentance is NOT quitting smoking or chasing after loose women...

Repent
μετανοέω
metanoeō
met-an-o-eh'-o
From G3326 and G3539; to think differently or afterwards, that is, reconsider (morally to feel compunction): - repent.

You use Acts 16:30-33 to show that no one has to repent to get baptized; to get saved...But you ignore verse 34 (Act 16:34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.) where it says EVERYONE believed...That eliminates the possibility that there were any babies there...

The jailer asked, Act 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

And what was Paul's response??? Did Paul say you must repent??? Did Paul say you must perform penance??? Nope...Did Paul say you must be baptized to be saved??? Nope...Here's what Paul said:::

Act 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Any one who subscribes to another formula for the church is a deceiver...
