Subject: What if you don't obey that command? |
Bible Note: That was not my intention to prove anything, I just ask a question. Why did they get baptized the same hour they believed? I stated that people take baptism into Christ to lightly: And may we need to find out more about it than we know. My personal belief is that I believe that baptism is just as important as confessing the name of Jesus Christ, Acts 8:36,37 here it saids: And as they went on their way: and 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. I don't know about you, but when I read that story of the eunuch's conversion I rejoice, because even in the desert God will make a way. It let me know the type of preaching Philip did also, because the eunuch is the one who brought up water after being taught, and he ask Philip the question, See, here is water, What doth hinder me to be baptized? Philip answered and said, If you believe with all your heart you may! The eunuch said I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, then Philip baptized him immediately after hearing that confession. I know most people don't believe that that had anything to do with salvation but I believe it did. And I'm trying to understand why you don't believe what happened here. |
