As a child, being educated in a convent, I learned the catechism by heart. We were tested on it every day. I'll never forget the first question "Who made you?" answer "God made me!" I could probably go on if I thought about it.  |

So by this reasoning... The spirit guided Philip to the Eunuch because Philip didn't understand sound gospel preaching?
Rubbish is definately the word I would have chosen, as well

I agree. Holy spirit baptism brings inner cleansing, which water baptism only symbolized. |

Excuse me, but didn't the "angel of the Lord" set this meeting up between Philip and the eunuch? Didn't the Spirit say to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot?" Are you suggesting that Philip gave the eunuch incorrect information?
You seem to be really reaching here.

Hey GD,
Long time. Nice to see ya. Thanks for posting. My goal for this thread is that someone will read the article and be led to read more from the Lavista website. Hopefully and prayerfully, they will open their hearts to Jesus and follow His command to be baptized.
