The early church leaders, apostles and evangelists - all focused on
Jesus. One young man fished for compliments for his first sermon -
from an elderly man. The latter didn't want to hurt the young
preacher's feelings, but being strongly pressed for a reply, he said,
“Well son, you didn't mention Jesus in your sermon.” Reply -
“Jesus wasn't in my text.” “Young man,” he retorted, “until
you learn that every text points to Jesus directly or indirectly, you
won't be an able preacher of the Gospel.”</span></span></span></font></font></p>

does not say in this passage that Philip mentioned “baptism”. But
we know he did, because of the eunuch's response. He </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">knew</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
from Philip that a true repentance demanded an immediate baptism,
which he without trouble led Philip to do. It seems likely that when
Peter and John followed up Philip's evangelism in Samaria, they said,
“We can't follow you up in all your evangelism by coming to lay
hands on your converts for the gift of the Holy Spirit. See, we give
you freely what Simon tried to buy! Now, go and lay hands on your
converts for this unspeakable </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">gift</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">!”
So when Philip apparently laid hands on the Eunuch following his
baptism, the Holy Spirit rushed in with such power, that Philip was
found miles away, and the Eunuch didn't even miss him, because of his
rejoicing over his reception of the marvelous gift of the Spirit.</span></span></span></font></font></p>
