Philip preached Jesus to the eunuch!

Obviously Philip preached “FACAGA”

How did the eunuch know about baptism?

Why did the eunuch so greatly desire baptism?

(If it’s only symbolic, an outward sign)

But even FACAGA is not biblical!

John 5:24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed fromdeath unto life.

Christ says you must believe on the father who sent Him!

so even Christ alone is not biblical!

Philip preached Jesus to him (Acts 8:35). That preaching would have included among Jesus’ teaching and preaching his command to go and make disciples (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16).

Why did the eunuch so greatly desire baptism?

He believed Philip preaching the gospel, wanted to become a disciple of the Messiah and have the life of the coming age.

Faith alone, Christ alone and Grace alone are Pauline doctrines. Jesus taught under Mosaic law during His earthly ministry to the Jews, so your premise doesn't apply to the Gospels.

Notice carefully the context of the verses.

Phillip said.."if tho has BELIEVED... with all thine HEART = FIRST".. then you may get water baptized"..


"Believe and tho shall be saved".

And after you BELIEVE and are born again, then you may be water Baptized, exactly as Phillip is showing us.
