Baptism Story 5: Lydia and her household

In Acts chapter 16 we find the story of Lydia, a woman of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods.

Lydia hears Paul preach in Philippi, and the Bible says the Lord opened her heart, and she attended to the things spoken by him.  Then she and her household were baptized.

So, God opened her heart so that she paid attention to what Paul was preaching.  Then she and her household were baptized.  There is no mention in that verse of Lydia coming to Christ by making a free will decision.  God came to her.
