The Philippian Jailer The Jailer’s Background The Jailer’s Question Paul’s Answer

Start Where People Are Saul believed and was penitent, he needed to be baptized (Acts 22:16). The Jews believed, they needed to repent and be baptized (Acts 2:38). The Jailer didn’t know anything about Jesus, he needed to start at belief (Acts 16:31).

The “Rest of the Story” He was a sinner - Rom. 3:23 Taught about Jesus Belief in Jesus - Acts 16:31 Repentance - Acts 2:38 Confession - Acts 8:36-37 Baptism - Acts 22:16

The Jailer’ Response “And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized.” Acts 16:33
