Fernando Montes de OcaHOST
For now no one can say they were baptized in my name.
Fernando Montes de OcaHOST
Oh yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas, but I don't remember baptizing anyone else.
Fernando Montes de OcaHOST
For Christ didn't send me to baptize, but to preach the good news and not with clever speech.
Fernando Montes de OcaHOST
For fear of the cross of Christ will lose its power." The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction.

Steve GreggHOST
And he did baptize in Corinth.
Steve GreggHOST
He baptized the household of Stephanas, he said, and Crispus and Gaius, I believe, but not many others.
Steve GreggHOST
The others were baptized apparently by Paul's associates.
Steve GreggHOST
But in Acts chapter 19, he evangelized 12 men in Ephesus in the first seven verses of Acts 19.

Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong, let all that you do be done with love.

I urge you, brethren, you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints, that you also submit to such, and to everyone who works and labors with us.

James BoiceHOST
And he thought about them in a very warm way.
James BoiceHOST
Here's Stephanas.
James BoiceHOST
This man was one of the first converts in Achaia, there in Corinth.
James BoiceHOST
And he opened his house to Paul, and that's where one of the first churches in that city was established.
James BoiceHOST
That man probably was having difficulty because he says, I urge you, brothers, submit to such as these.
James BoiceHOST
It's easy to understand how that was happening because they weren't very willing to submit to Paul.
James BoiceHOST
And they weren't going to submit to Paul, they weren't going to submit to Stephanas either.
James BoiceHOST
But he says, this man's a leader.
Aaron GallagherHOST
So you have over and over household faith, Acts 16:25, household teaching, Acts 16:32, household belief, Acts 18:8.
Aaron GallagherHOST
And like, another one is in 1 Corinthians 1 where Paul says he baptized the household of Stephanas.
ReaganHOST
Yes, that's a good one.
Aaron GallagherHOST
But then if you look at the end of the letter-
ReaganHOST
Mm-hmm
Aaron GallagherHOST
...
Aaron GallagherHOST
he says, "I urge you, brethren, you know this, the household of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints."
ReaganHOST
Yep.
Bruce MejiaHOST
Acts 18, verse 8 says, This household baptism is explicitly connected to the household faith.
Bruce MejiaHOST
1 Corinthians 1.16 talks about the household of Stephanas.
Bruce MejiaHOST
1 Corinthians does not list the age of every person in that home.
Bruce MejiaHOST
But later Paul says in verse 15, Ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints.
Bruce MejiaHOST
This household was capable of devoting itself to the Christian ministry.
Bruce MejiaHOST
Once again, the passage does not provide an example of an infant being baptized.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in Paul's name? I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one can say you were baptized in my name.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
I did, in fact, baptize the household of Stephanas, Beyond that, I don't recall if I baptized anyone else.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with eloquent wisdom, so that the cross of Christ will not be emptied of its effect.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
For the word of the cross is foolish to those who are perishing.
Mark PenfoldNARRATOR
Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? Thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one should say that I baptized into my own name.
Mark PenfoldNARRATOR
Yet I baptized the family of Stephanas.
Mark PenfoldNARRATOR
Beyond this I do not recollect if I baptized any others.
Mark PenfoldNARRATOR
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to evangelize, not with philosophical argument, so that the cross of Christ might not be fruitless.

Mark PenfoldNARRATOR
Watch, stand in the faith, be manly, be self-restrained.
Mark PenfoldNARRATOR
Let all you do be done in love.
Mark PenfoldNARRATOR
But I advise you, brothers, to regard the family of Stephanas, because they were the pioneers of Achaia, and disposed themselves for service to the saints.
Mark PenfoldNARRATOR
You should be obedient to such like, and to all our fellow-workers and laborers.
