Dear Martin,
Thanks for your comments.
I was just reading Samuel Waldron, and he wrote:
"....Second, it is not, in fact, clear that the Ethiopian Eunuch was not baptized into a local church. This assumption on the part of interpreters is nowhere stated in the passage. It is possible and even probable given the teaching of the rest of the New Testament that he was baptized into the membership of the church in Jerusalem or that he was the first member of the church in Ethiopia...."
I don't understand this, because how could the Ethiopian Eunuch be baptized into the membership of Jerusalem, while he was on his way to Gaza ?
Maybe you can shed some light on this ?
