What does the Bible say about believers' baptism?

Answered in 1 source

Believers' baptism signifies an outward expression of an inner faith and is based on the individual's understanding of the gospel.

In Acts 16, we see the baptism of the Philippian jailer and his household, which supports the view of believers' baptism. Scripture emphasizes individual understanding and faith in the gospel before baptism, as seen in the actions of Paul and Silas. The jailer believed in God with all his household, indicating that those baptized were of an age to understand the gospel, thus reinforcing the idea that baptism is for believers only. This position is supported by the phrase 'they heard', which implies comprehension.
