What did the Ethiopian eunuch actually believe in Acts 8 that brought his salvation?
In Acts 8, the Ethiopian eunuch, returning from Jerusalem steeped in religion and still wrapped in sin, believed that Christ was indeed the Messiah, the King, and everything associated with that first advent, and upon believing he then experienced salvation.
Les explains that the eunuch was coming back from Jerusalem steeped in religion and still wrapped in his sin. But after believing that Christ was indeed the Messiah, the King, and everything associated with that first advent, he experienced salvation. The Spirit caught Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, yet he went on his way rejoicing. His salvation came by believing in Christ as Messiah and King, not by his religious background. This mirrored what happened in Samaria, where believers also went on their way rejoicing.
