Acts8:16
16 For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: onely they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
By which it is plain that the Holy Ghost, as the Author of saving grace, is not here meant, for so he was fallen upon all them that did believe, for faith is the gift of God; but he was not yet bestowed upon them, as the author of those extraordinary gifts mentioned, Chap. 2.38.
1. They were baptized by his authority and commission, Matth. 28.19. 2dly. By baptism they now belong unto, and are united with him, Rom. 6.3. They are baptized into Iesus Christ, &c.
Marginal references: Chap. 19.2.
