2. Baptism

a) How and where did Philip conduct the baptism of the converted eunuch? It's in the Bible, Acts 8:36-39, NKJV. "Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?” Then Philip said, 'If you believe with all your heart, you may.' And he answered and said, 'I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.' So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him. Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing."

b) What occurred at the baptism of Jesus? It's in the Bible, Matthew 3:16-17, NKJV. "When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.  And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

c) Into whose name are believers to be baptized? It's in the Bible, Matthew 28:19, NKJV. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,"

d)What are the prerequisites of baptism? It's in the Bible, Acts 8:12, NKJV. "But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized."
