                                              baptize you with water for 
                                              repentance. But after me will come 
                                              one who is more powerful than I, 
                                              whose sandals I am not fit to 
                                              carry. He will baptize you with 
                                              the Holy Spirit and with fire.
                                              
                                              16As soon as Jesus was 
                                              baptized, he went up out of the 
                                              water. At that moment heaven was 
                                              opened, and he saw the Spirit of 
                                              God descending like a dove and 
                                              lighting on him. (Matthew 3:11,16)
 
                                               Jesus answered, "I tell you the 
                                              truth, no one can enter the 
                                              kingdom of God unless he is born 
                                              of water and the Spirit." (John 3:5)
 
                                               But when they believed Philip 
                                                  preaching the things 
                                                  concerning the kingdom of God, 
                                                  and the name of Jesus Christ, 
                                                  they were baptized, both men 
                                                  and women. Then Simon himself 
                                                  believed also: and when he was 
                                                  baptized, he continued with 
                                                  Philip, and wondered, 
                                                  beholding the miracles and 
                                                  signs which were done. (Acts 8:12,13)
 
                                               
                                                                           Then 
                                              Philip opened his mouth, and began 
                                              at the same scripture, and 
                                              preached unto him Jesus. And as 
                                              they went on their way, they came 
                                              unto a certain water: and the 
                                              eunuch said, See, here is water; 
                                              what doth hinder me to be 
                                              baptized? And Philip said, If thou 
                                              believest with all thine heart, 
                                              thou mayest. And he answered and 
                                              said, I believe that Jesus Christ 
                                              is the Son of God. 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. (Acts 8:35-38)
 
                                               
                                                                           And Ananias went his way, and 
                                                  entered into the house; and 
                                                  putting his hands on him said, 
                                                  Brother Saul, the Lord, even 
                                                  Jesus, that appeared unto thee 
                                                  in the way as thou camest, 
                                                  hath sent me, that thou 
                                                  mightest receive thy sight, 
                                                  and be filled with the Holy 
                                                  Ghost. And immediately there 
                                                  fell from his eyes as it had 
                                                  been scales: and he received 
                                                  sight forthwith, and arose, 
                                                  and was baptized. (Acts 9:17,18)
