New International Version (©2011) Acts 8:39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. Acts 8:40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea. Question:Can it happen in this present gospel dispensation? |

Pygru: New International Version (©2011)It happens. Read Biographies of men of God like: Apostle JA Babalola and some other C.A.C Apostles, Smith wigglesworth, RW Shambak. The supernatural still happens. Just be spirit conscious, you will see them. 1 Like |

Pygru: New International Version (©2011) I believe it still happens today, it's just that the devil and his agents are now counterfeiting what God does and we are more used to hearing stories of "egbe" or "kanoko" which our forefathers use in travelling and getting out of danger. Those who allow God to use their spirits will use it at His own bidding like the case of Philip and not at our own beck and call. |

OK NOW I GOT TIME TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION COMPREHENSIVELY. SO WHAT IT IS YOU ARE THINKING IS NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING. LETS START WITH VERSE 35 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. PHILIP START TELLING HIM ABOUT JESUS 36 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 AS THEY WENT FURTHER INTO SCRIPTURES THEY CAME UPON A CERTAIN SCRIPTURE, AND THE EUNUCH SAID 'SEE THIS SCRIPTURE HERE, WHAT PREVENTS ME FROM UNDERSTANDING IT ?' 37 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 PHILIP TOLD HIM IF HE BELIEVED IN JESUS WITH ALL HIS HEART, HE WOULD UNDERSTAND AND BE ABLE TO INTERPRET SCRIPTURES. AND HE SAID, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD' 38 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. AND THE EUNUCH STOPPED HIS CARRIAGE. AND THEY BOTH WENT DEEP INTO THE SCRIPTURES AND PHILIP TAUGHT HIM SO MANY SCRIPTURES. 39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. AND WHEN THEY FINISHED THE LESSONS, THE SPIRIT MOVED PHILIP TO GO TO ANOTHER CITY TO GO PREACH TO OTHER PEOPLE AND THE EUNUCH SAW HIM NO MORE AFTER THAT AND HE WENT ON HIS WAY HAPPY THAT HE HAD RECIEVED PROPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE SCRIPTURES FROM PHILIP 40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. MEANWHILE PHILIP WAS IN AZOTUS PREACHING AND HE ALSO PREACHED IN SO MANY OTHER CITIES TILL HE CAME TO CAESAREA AND THERE YOU HAVE IT. NOTHING MAGICAL OR DISSAPEARING ACT HAPPENED |

obadiah777: .39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: Don't be confused about this. The verse is self explanatory . Remember it happened to Jesus also, John 6:21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. |

Joagbaje:OGA JO THAT VERSE YOU QUOTED MEANS >>>> HE JOINED THEM IN PREACHING WHEREVER THEY WENT ( AS OPPOSED TO BEFORE WHEN HE LEFT THEM ALONE AND THEY WERE SCARED WHEN THE REPROBATE CROWD STARTED SCOFFING <<< THIS IS IN PREVIOUS VERSES OF COURSE ). THE SHIP IS THE WORD.  |

LETS START WITH VERSE 35 Brother Obadiah, can you clarify a few things for me brother? • There were no New Testament scriptures at that time, how can Phillip be referring to water baptism when the scriptures he was reading from was the Tanakh and my understanding is that there was no water baptism at far as the Jews were concerned. Give thanks. 1 Like |

Joagbaje: What the. . . .?nothing i gave was of private interpretation sire. precept must be upon precept, here a little there a little.  |

From_Guiriga:sire, there is no such thing as h20 baptism. this is mans misappropriated tradition based on wrongful interpretation of the bible. water means doctrine. to be baptized by water means to be taught the doctrine. same with fasting. biblical fasting has nothing to do with food. this is also mans miss-translation of the bible. yeah the lord fasted ( did not eat the word. revelation 10 vs 9 tells you what eat means ) for a certain number of days so he can be spiritually weak like man and be tempted like man so as to overcome like man. hebrews 2 vs 18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted fasting that applies to us means stopping all the evil you do. its called a holy-fast. thats what fasting is. thats the only effective spiritual fasting. depriving yourself of food is nothing spiritual. >>> joel 1 vs 14 Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly <<< what a fast really is. a holy fast. dont do evil not dont eat food all praises sire. have a great week. oh and if you look at the word baptism in the dictionary it means to be taught esoteric knowledge ( like knowledge from scriptures ) 1 Like |
