Acts chapter 16, verses 30 to 34, is a wonderful testimony to the power of God touching a jailer and his household in the Macedonian city of Philippi. Some commentators have suggested that verse 34 allows for baptism of infants in a believer's house. Let us examine this premise.
A couple of generations after Jesus' apostles had departed to be with Christ, a prolific writer and teacher, by name Origen, arose in Alexandria, Egypt. The teachings and commentaries of Origen and subsequent authors have been used in some Christian circles to support the practice of baptizing infants who are born in Christian households.
