1. The Conversion of Lydia Acts 16:6-15

3. How Paul Was Brought To Lydia

4. The Effect of the Sermon “The Lord Opened Her Heart” - vs. 14-15 How? God works through His Word to produce faith in a sinner’s heart. Romans 1:16, 10:17

5. The Effect of the Sermon “The Lord Opened Her Heart” - vs. 14-15 To What? The truth that Jesus is the Messiah.

6. The Baptism of Her Household

7. The Bible mentions several household baptisms: Acts 16:16 Acts 16:33-34 Acts 18:8 1 Cor. 1:16

8. Baptism is for… The remission of sins - Acts 2:38 Those who hear and understand the gospel - Mark 16:15-16 Those who repent - Acts 2:38 Those who confess Christ - Acts 8:36-38 Infants don’t need this and can’t do this.

9. One Must Prove… That Lydia had children That her children were infants That her children were with her That her children were baptized Requires too many assumptions for any serious Bible student!

10. Will you heed the things spoken from the gospel? Confess your faith - Acts 8:37 Repent and be baptized - Acts 2:38
