Another similar occurence......but it gets even better.
This is a must read for all one-steppers
35 Then
Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and
preached unto him Jesus.
36) And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and
the eunuch said, See,
here is water;
what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37) And Philip said,
If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38) And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch;
and he baptized him.
39) And when
they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
Philip attached himself to the eunuch preached Jesus. The euunuch then states what does hinder me from being baptized? Of course eunuch learned about baptism while preaching Jesus.....but wait...it gets better....
Notice what Philip tells the Eunuch "If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest."
Philip told the Eunuch ONLY IF YOU BELIEVE WITH ALL YOUR HEART you can get baptized.
Well one-steppers, there goes your theology out the window. If you believe with all your heart, you must be baptized. Just believing wasn't enough!
