“I As they rode along, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Look! There's some water! Why can't I be baptized?" 37 Then Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."38 He ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.  

~Acts 8: 36-38

.

As for Philip, an angel of the Lord said to him, "Go south down the desert road that runs from Jerusalem to Gaza." 27 So he started out, and he met the treasurer of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under the Candace, the queen of Ethiopia. The eunuch had gone to Jerusalem to worship, 28 and he was now returning. Seated in his carriage, he was reading aloud from the book of the prophet Isaiah.  29 The Holy Spirit said to Philip, "Go over and walk along beside the carriage."  30 Philip ran over and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. Philip asked, "Do you understand what you are reading?"  31 The man replied, "How can I, unless someone instructs me?" And he urged Philip to come up into the carriage and sit with him.  32 The passage of Scripture he had been reading was this: "He was led like a sheep to the slaughter. And as a lamb is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth.  33 He was humiliated and received no justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth."


The eunuch asked Philip, "Tell me, was the prophet talking about himself or someone else?"  35 So beginning with this same Scripture, Philip told him the Good News about Jesus.  

As they rode along, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Look! There's some water! Why can't I be baptized?" 37 Then Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." 38 He ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. The eunuch never saw him again but went on his way rejoicing.  

~Acts 8:26-39

.

Then Jesus went from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to talk him out of it. "I am the one who needs to be baptized by you," he said, "so why are you coming to me?" 15 But Jesus said, "It should be done, for we must carry out all that God requires." So John agreed to baptize him. 16 After his baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and settling on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, "This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy."  

~Matthew 3:13-17

. God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.

~Ephesians 2:8-9
