The Ethiopian is Baptized

And the Angel of the Lord, spoke to Philip, saying, a rise and go,  to word the south,  and He a rose and went:   and behold,   a Man of Ethiopia,    of great authority  under Candace  Queen of the Ethiopians,   who had the charge  of all her Treasures,  and  had come to Jerusalem to worship,   and was returning.   He sat in His Chariot and was reading Esaias the Prophet.    Then the Spirit  said to Philip,  draw near,   and said    join your self to this chariot.   And Philip ran to Him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias,  and   ask,    do you under what you are reading?    And he said,  How can I?   Except a man should guide me.  

The place of the scripture which he was reading,   Spoke of the  Lord Jesus Christ.   He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;     and like Lamb  dumb before his Shearer,    so He did not open His mouth.  In His humiliation   His judgment was taken away:   and who shall declare His generation?   For His life was taken from the Earth.  And the eunuch answered Philip,  and said,   I pray Thee,   of whom the speaketh the  Prophet?   of him self,  or of some other man.   Then Philip Began at the same Scripture,  and Preached unto Him JESUS.   And as they went on there way,   they came unto a certain WATER:   and the Eunuch said, HERE  IS WATER;   What hinder me from been BAPTIZED?   Philip said,   IF YOU BELIEVE WITH ALL YUOR  HEART,      THOU MAYEST.   And he answered  and said,   I BELIEVE  THAT JESUS CHRIST  IS THE  SON  OF  GOD.  And Philip Commanded the Chariot to stop. 

And they  BOTH     Went  down  into the  water,   Both   Philip and the Eunuch;   and  He   BAPTIZE   HIM,   and when they came up out of the water,  the Spirit  of the Lord Caught away Philip,   and   the Eunuch went on His way Rejoiciny.   Acts 8:  26-39,    ARE   YOU   SAVED?   What is keeping you from  been  obedient   to the word of  God?    you can only be saved once,   you may  not  act  like you are saved, but if you were  serious when you ask the Lord Jesus Christ to come into your heart and save you,  you are His child.  His life is in you.   You can now repent of your disobedience to God,   for neglecting  His Son,  start reading His  word,  and start growing.   God is a loving Father,  He will for give you.  and save you,  if you need to be saved.
