REPLY.—As to the case of the Phillippian jailor, we moderns can safely found nothing upon it, because it was not a case which modern circumstances at all affected. Paul was at his right hand, and “spoke to him the words of the Lord.”—(Acts 16:31.) Now, Paul was not in the position of a man who has to prove all he says out of the Word. He spoke with authority as the apostle of the Lord. Therefore, it was sufficient for the jailor to listen to what he had to say. To hear, in his case, was to believe, and, therefore, he could know much in a short time—more in an hour than some of us may attain to in years.
Our safety lies in submitting ourselves to the positive apostolic indications of a pre-immersional faith.
