There is a new teaching out there called “Household Salvation.” What is it and is it Biblical? Some people quote one of three places in the Scriptures where someone was baptized and “their whole household was saved” and they falsely apply that to anyone who lives in the house is also saved, bringing their entire family into heaven. That is a lie straight from hell. Jesus is the one and only way to be saved (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). One such account they use as a “proof text” is Acts 16:14-16 where God opened Lydia’s heart to understand the gospel and she was saved (v. 14). Just after she believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, “she was baptized, and her household as well, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us” (Acts 16:15-16).
