“And the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me from being baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.” Acts 8:36-37

“Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.” Acts 2:41
