The eunuch in Acts 8 wanted to stop and get wet. Makes ya wonder what it was Philip said when he "preached unto him Jesus."

Perhaps you wonder because you read your catechism as the 'bible'...We don't have to wonder what Philip taught just by reading the Eunuch's response...

Act 8:36 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?
Act 8:37 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.

That's when the Eunuch received the Spiritual baptism...When he no longer needed a man to teach him...And THEN, he got wet...

This is a very important verse...Monumental I guess you could say...

First, it proves your current pope lied when he said it is not a requirement to believe in Jesus to be a (Catholic) Christian...Or something close to that effect...And secondly, this eliminates any possibility of babies being baptized...

If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest...

**That’s when the Eunuch received the Spiritual baptism...When he no longer needed a man to teach him...And THEN, he got wet...**

Your vain interpretation doesn’t jive with the Samaritans conversion. I could put that whole passage on here for you, but you have heard before, and it appears that you still don’t believe.
