Why would Jesus be preached to him if he already believed?
Is the command (believe on Christ) given with regard to the jailer as well as his household? Would the jailer's household be saved because the jailer believed? (Acts 2:38-39 provides the answer)
Does believing on Christ involve doing what he says?
But the aspect of service is in the phrase "and appointed you". "I chose you [to be my disciples] and appointed you [for service]".
Otherwise, we have "you did not choose me [for service]"! But this is not the sense of "you did not choose me".

Yet I am willing to hope that all will be saved, which would include Judas!
