The Ethiopian saays something like “There is some water, why can’t I be baptized right now.”
So in the book of Acts water was used.
I did not say that there is no water in any baptism...I said there was no water in THAT baptism...
Baptism does not mean water and water does not mean baptism...
And here is another salient verse when it comes to baptizing little children...
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?
The answer to that question is the answer that apllies to everyone, including little children...Did Philip say that nothing hindered the Eunuch from being baptized??? No he did not...
The Eunuch and babies would be hindered from being baptized for the following reason:
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.
You must believe with all your heart that Jesus is the Son of God before you may be baptized...No babies and no way around it...
Phillip wasn't speaking to a baby, nor was he speaking of babies. You're trying to create general doctrine from a specific instance which doesn't necessarily apply.
