My favorite bible character in reference to this subject has just got to be Lydia, Acts 16:15-15:
And a certain woman named Lyd´i·a, a seller of purple , of the city of Thy·a·ti´ra and a worshiper of God, was listening, and Jehovah opened her heart wide to pay attention to the things being spoken by Paul. Now when she and her household got baptized, she said with entreaty: “If YOU men have judged me to be faithful to Jehovah, enter into my house and stay.” And she just made us come.
