What is Saving Faith?
As the Ethiopian Eunuch is baptized, though we see not his explicit confession of faith, we see the marks of genuine faith in what follows. We see that true saving faith that God grants, through which He sovereignly saves, trusts in Christ for righteousness, it follows Christ in obedience, it experiences transcendent joy, and is sent out going to tell of the mercy it is found in Christ, to others.
Acts 8:36-40 "And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, 'See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?' And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing. But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea."
