And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas. Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family.
A simple statement, "Believe and you will be saved," Not a lot of deep and obtuse theology, just believe. But the Philippian jailor knew the import of what he was asked to do; the Spirit revealed to him that this was an act of commitment to the LORD, God, the Almighty. He was to discard his heathen gods and be obedient to and trusting in the One True God.
