Don't take my word for it, don't take Epley's word for it, search it for yourself.
After that we'll certainly discuss Philip and the eunuch.

No, let's look at both of them. It doesn't matter, in that instance, if Ananias is speaking or Paul. Paul, in my opinion, is a whole different story since he first rejected Jesus Christ's doctrine dragging people out of their homes, was holding Stephen's coat while he was being stoned, and just a fearful man to the Christians.
What matters is that they have made a confession of their faith. That is tantamount for the NT church - Do you believe on the name of Jesus? If not, then they will die in their sins.
I think you are taking the one passage too far to prove something you cannot.
