Question 9

How did the disciples baptize people?


Bible

Acts 2:36-38

"And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch said, See, here is water. What would hinder me from being baptized? Philip said, If you believe with all your heart, you may. And the Ethiopian answered; I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And they went down into the water, and he baptized him."

Answer

This was a simple yet wonderful illustration of how baptism is done. After Philip studied the Bible with this Ethiopian man, the man decided he wanted to be baptized. Upon seeing some water, he asked Philip if he could be baptized. Philip asked him if he believed in this Jesus that they had been studying together. The Ethiopian said yes, so Philip took him down, and buried him beneath the water. This is how baptism is to be done today.
