The portion of scripture you present indicates they were told of the need to believe on Jesus. However, the scripture goes on to express they were provided with more information including the need to submit to water baptism.
Acts 16:32-34
32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

today there is no "reached World". We have a generation of the past 20 years who are not reached in the USA and around the world.
Listen,
every time a child is born they are unreached. The devil has created a false Narrative called the "reached " pastense. You can let up, you did a Great Job bring on the coming of the Lord. Yet Jesus is still seeking that which is lost, are there still lost people to day>?
They are unreached !!!!! YOU must continue to pray, seek the one leave the 99 and go after the one!
The Great Commission is not completed and never will be when children are being born every day. Oh Lord, Forgive us for our slothfulness and our LACK OF CONCERN FOR THE order YOU GAVE US TO GO into ALL THE WORLD AND TO EACH GENERATION.
We have taken the bait of satan to think they are reached yet nations are falling to the enemy 61 million babies murdered in the womb UNREACHED!!!!! Oh Lord, so many young people today don't know you Lord because they are not being reached! Lord send an awaking and forgive our sin and help us to do the work YOU have never said YET " you are finished".
amen

i'm sorry, i don't know what denomination she went to. only that she grew up in New England.
not only is it possible to go to a church for years and never hear the gospel, but it's possible to spend one's whole life in a church hearing a false gospel. this woman, the 'gospel' she heard was salvation by altruism. her 'being basically a good person' is supposed to 'earn' her way to 'heaven' by good works - while she hardly knows what a good work is!
how many people have we met here on CC who go about saying something similar? they'll say, salvation is by keeping the 10 commandments, voting republican and staying away from beer. and some of these are preachers!

Amen.
I never thought of it like that until you pointed it out. What is the "reached world?" It's almost disarming like we can now just stop spreading the gospel because they have been "reached."
Jesus said "go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" while new creatures are being made all the time. Seems like the work of an evangelist never really ends.

You are right, the same thing applies in Australia. Even my atheist father agreed that we kids should go to Sunday School. It was a convenient, free child minding service to him. So I knew some Bible basics. I've witnessed to people who've never heard of Adam and Eve or Noah, let alone Abraham, Moses or Jacob. Until every soul has heard the gospel, I don't believe we can say "job done", wherever we are geographically.

The US is probably the most "reached" country in the world. However, I'm not convinced the right message has been preached. Americans from the very beginning of this nation have tended to create God in their image. By that I mean the ideas about God and Jesus have shifted and changed with almost every generation. This is evidenced by all the denominations there are. Get a new conception of what Jesus is supposed to be? Start a new denomination or cult. This is due in large part by the belief that God sanctions anything an American does and our fierce independence and self-reliance. I'm an American, and America has a divine mandate, how can I be wrong? 
The problem is complex, but we shouldn't stop reaching out. Maybe now is the best time for reaching out. People have seen it all and perhaps now they're ready for the truth.

"Is the USA still the "reached world", as in that the gospel has already reached everyone? I don't know about that anymore. How will they hear the good news unless we come to them?"
Its every nation and its not is the USA its.. are you and me taking HIs word out into the world. Fact for each of us .. should always be witnessing for Him. Yeah if He was walking with you.. oh then we would not be scared where we shared the word. Then we would be willing to to lose it all. Yet since we can't see Him feel Him hear Him..
Yes there are so many ministries that are right now reaching every nation around the world. We don't know much about this because we focus one something they said that made the news.. yet what some of them have been doing since they came to Christ.. its awesome, wonderful. Some just from the phone thousand come to Christ ever week.

some people have this idea that the 'old world' was europe and the 'new world' was america. but then they kinda forgot about Africa and Asia and the Pacific Islands. And everywhere else. The world is round ya know.
so its kind of of a silly question. Jesus said the gospel is to reach the ends of the earth. He didnt say go underwater, but I reckon everywhere thats dry land is game.

It may seem silly but I have found mysel needing to remind folks that we have family in every country... Many who come here have th horrid idea that our Father has their nation's flag in hand at all times.
It is written, we have a Banner... I know our Banner, and certainly you do too. God bless you.
