Bible Note: Sure: Acts 8:35-39 "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; whay 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. Act 16:30-34 And brought them out, and said, Sir, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32 And they SPAKE UNTO HIM THE WORD OF THE LORD, AND TO ALL THAT WERE IN HIS HOUSE. (only to make a point) 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. Both of these cases were in the same hour, but notice the first text in Acts 8:26-38 I used vs 35-38 to save space, but the point I want to make is that these two were in the desert, this is the answer to the "what if you were in the desert question" God will provide! Philip taught the eunuch and baptized him in the same hour. And the jailer was also baptized the same hour of the cold night with all that were in his house. |
