âAnd as they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, âLook! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?ââ (Acts 8:36)At some point as they went along the road the eunuch was granted saving faith and was instructed about baptism. That is implied by his reaction when they came to some water. The eunuch said to Philip, âLook! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?â They came across a pool or stream in the desert at just the appropriate moment for the man to publicly testify to his saving faith by being obedient to the ordinance of immersion. That is yet another example of the sovereign Spirit's control of events. . . .
