Are infants included in the word ‘household’?

Look at the following verses:

And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, ‘Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter, who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved.’ (Acts 11:13-14)

So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. (Acts 16:31-32)

I do not think that infants could have been included in the word ‘household’ in the contexts of these verses.

Principle of the Lord’s Supper

(GB Message)

Bearing in mind the seven points noted below is important if we must understand the principle of the Lord’s Supper and partake of it meaningfully and biblically. Believers generally are familiar with every one of these points but are liable to overlook them because of their flesh (Gk: sarkikos). Remember that if we are not alert, we give Satan and the evil forces the upper hand. These evil forces are ever antagonistic to spiritual people. Satan has caused so many churches to become spiritually lethargic and stagnate. On the other hand, living and dynamic believers and churches with such members survive.
“for the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law” Gal 5:17-18.

Post-baptism teaching

As far as this church is concerned, the word “Baptism” should convey the following meanings.

• The ritual in which the person is immersed in water in the name of Lord Jesus.
• The theological or doctrinal meaning of the word
• The word when used as a code for the entire doctrinal teaching concerning salvation or until the “born-again” stage (recently we had several sessions on this subject that totalled 12 hours of teaching)

By ‘post-baptism’ teaching, I refer to teaching that the believer requires after he is born again.

Who is a truth seeker?

The sole purpose for being in the church is to be trained by the guidance of the Bible to be in heaven. The Bible can be understood only with the help of the Holy Spirit or with the help of one who has the anointing of the Holy Spirit for preaching the gospel of Lord Jesus.

Evangelist Note

(GB Message)

It has been quite a long time since my previous note to you all. In biblical language it is a small time duration; why, even 2000 years is considered a small period of time. However, I wish to convey that I really feel that I should have written earlier. The usual human tendency is to give excuses for failures. But what is important is to get up and proceed without becoming either discouraged or finding a scapegoat and giving excuses.

I derive some consolation from the fact that the cause for this delay is not lethargy but debility, not laziness but exhaustion, and, above all, the distinct increase of work load. One more cause that could be attributed to the delay is that several events took place in quick succession. We are nevertheless grateful to God because the needed ministry has taken place systematically; only the publication was handicapped.
