Thoughts on baptism Acts 8, My friend wanted me to preach Jesus without preaching the church. In the conversions of the New Testament, you could not preach Jesus without preaching about Jesus' church, and you could not preach about Jesus' church without preaching about baptism. While studying, one will see that the closure or culmination of the intial act of faith in New Testament conversions was baptism. Peter preached "Jesus" in Acts 8, and as a result of preaching "Jesus", the Ethiopian Eunuch said, "see here's water, what does hinder me from being baptized (to immerse, submerge, overwhelm), and both him and the Eunuch Went Down Into the Water." So preaching "Jesus" is preaching about Jesus' church is preaching about baptism. Acts 2:47 "And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved."
