I don't know about Simon. Was he truly saved? The scripture says he believed. Was that a false belief? Do we know for sure? I certainly don't. I wish I had a water proof answer for everything.

I ask myself the same about Judas being baptized, but I have less of a problem with that. Judas played a roll. He was the son of perdition and was predestined to get close to Jesus. How much closer could he get than reclining at the table with Him or being baptized?
