Acts 8:12
When they believed Philip. This verse states in the concisest
manner the apostolic order of converting men: (1) Philip preached; (2)
he preached the kingdom and name of Jesus Christ; (3) faith came by
hearing, for the Samaritans believed; (4) when they believed they were
baptized. This describes the uniform course in apostolic days.
Both men and women. Note that (1) only believers are baptized,
(2) that men and women are both included, but children are not named.
