In biblical times, books were kept as short as possible, so that they could fit onto one scroll of papyrus. The trip from Gaza, where Acts says that Philip baptised the eunuch, to Azotus (Ashdod) was unimportant and hardly worth recounting, but the author of Luke and Acts was good at miracles. As soon as Philip had baptised the eunuch, he disappeared and reappeared in Azotus, by the Spirit of the Lord (Acts 8:39-40).

You are dating your brother in law's godson Can i baptize my brother in law's son. What would that make them. Is that agains Greek orthodox religion?

Regarding Baptism: Perhaps the passage that best answers your question is Acts 8:26-39, wherein Philip is lead by the Holy Spirit to an Ethiopian eunuch who is travelling back to his Queen and is found reading from the prophets. Phillip is commanded by the Holy Spirit to speak to the man, and winds up preaching the Gospel to him. The eunuch then takes Jesus as his Savior, and as they pass by a small pool, says "See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? ...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." The eunuch was then baptized by Phillip. We are taught to preach the Gospel, and to baptize those who come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Do not be hindered from baptizing by any familial relationship - and do not lightly baptize - for the Bible teaches Mark 16:16 "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." In other words, the one to be baptized is to first Believe, and then comes the baptism.

Do you have to be baptized to be part of the orthodox church?

Yes, because Jesus Himself accepted baptism in the Jordan River, and He commanded His disciples to go and preach and to baptize. "He who believes and is baptized will be saved" (Mark 16:15-16). The Church has maintained this practice of baptism for over 2,000 years.

Why the disciples of Jesus preach the Gospel and baptize but Paul preached only the Gospel and did not baptize?

cause he is not a disciple but he is a saint dudeAnswer:Paul didn't "preach only the gospel not to baptize," because the gospel is of no effect without baptism. Galatians 3:27 - For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.In I Corinthians 1, Paul did express some relief that he himself had baptized only a few in Corinth, and made the statement, "For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect." (v.17). However, this was because those in Corinth were splitting into factions based on who taught and baptized them (see verses 11-13) rather than directing their full faith and devotion toward Jesus.To really understand Paul's statement, it helps to picture what the scene would have been like when Paul preached. Those who heard him and wanted to be baptized would have merely approached while Paul spoke, and one of his companions would have done the actual baptizing while Paul continued to preach. This is why he could say, "Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel." This doesn't mean he preached a gospel devoid of baptism; it means he preached, and others baptized.
