finish the passage Acts 16:32-33
32And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
Of course they were baptized, but that doesn't change how Paul answered the question.
If you had been at the Philippian jailers home, how would you have answered his question?
One more question: The Philippian jailer believed on the Lord Jesus Christ and was baptized the same hour of the night, was he saved, or did Paul leave him still as lost as two boys kissing?
In Acts 10:43 he is preaching remission of sins in Jesus Name and commands them to be baptized in the NAME.
So would have given a different answer in the other places or was that answer only good for those at Pentecost.
Acts 10:43
43To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
The command came after the Spirit of God made union w/ new converts. In your view God made union w/ non-rapture ready believers w/ unremmited sin and their body of sin still unresolved.
I would like to have some Scriptural proof of this proposition.
I suspect that this whole statement rests on an artificial distinction between the English words forgiveness and remission.
Hebrews 10 clearly states the law with it's sacrifices and priesthood could NEVER take sins away. Yet they were forgiven. Remission of sins only come through the shed blood of Christ. Not until then.
Acts 10:43
43To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
Thank you the ETH in believe is found in verse 48 and he COMMANDED them to be baptized in the NAME. Where remission of sins is found in the Name in baptism. Thank you again. Little by little.

Once again the KJV befuddles the erudite Elder ...
NIV:
43All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."
The command came after the Spirit of God made union w/ new converts. In your view God made union w/ non-rapture ready believers w/ unremmited sin and their body of sin still unresolved.

That depend on the translation you use according to Dan.
