The families submitted to the decision of their head. That they had true belief of their own in Christ is uncertain, but they had faith in the family member (was Lydia truly her family's head, or just the one leading them) who was bringing Christ to them. So just as baptism now is a symbol of our faith, so it was then a symbol of their allegiance. One can only hope that true belief came in time to all of them. I'm leaving infants out of this on purpose. | |
