Someone wrote this to me:

Baptism is normally practise by the local church, but we can not say it is an ordinance only for the church, because Philip baptist the eunoch outiside the local church, and did not went back to Jerusalam him there:

Acts 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

Can someone help me this ?
Or is the argument, that at that place was not a local church enough ? But than he will say, yea but Philipus could take him with him to Jerusalm to be baptist there.

Thoughts ?
