I have often heard people quote only part of verse 31 saying believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. I have also seen signs and posters quoting the same. But if we read all of verse 31 it reads They said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and thy house. Are we to think that the jailor could believe and save not just himself, but his house as well? Obviously a person can believe only for themselves. I believe that the apostles were speaking under the anointing of the Holy Spirit (how else could they have known the jailor had a family?) telling the jailor that if he trusts in the message of Jesus that later that morning him and his household would end up being saved. (meaning future tense.) If we look at the following verses, we see that they spoke to the jailor and his entire family the word of God. Only after hearing the word of God were the jailor and his entire family saved.
