In family devotions tonight we were discussing the Covenant and particularly the sacraments. One question that was raised in my mind as I consulted the confession was this: The WCF clearly says that only a minister can administer baptism, but if that is the case what do we do with Phillip (a deacon) baptizing the eunuch in Acts 8:38-39? Why is it that ordained elders and deacons cannot baptize?
