Church of God Ordained Minister Practice Exam

This item targets knowledge of the events in Acts 16 at Philippi. Lydia, a God-fearing woman who met Paul by the river, responds to the gospel and is baptized with her household. Later, the prison guard (jailer) experiences an earthquake, asks how to be saved, and he and his household are baptized as well. These two stand as the first converts recorded in Philippi, showing the gospel welcome to both a wealthy, God-fearing woman and a Roman official. The other names come from different contexts or towns, so they don’t fit as the first converts in Philippi.
