The unbiblical effects of the βScofield Reference 'Bible' " wickedly attacking, doubting, and denying Acts 8:37 as being Scripture:
Since the Scofield Reference "Bible" denies Acts 8:37 is Scripture, the Scofield Bible:
π₯Subtily promotes infant baptism and baptism of anyone to be saved by denying the authenticity of the same verse (Acts 8:37) that actually shows a people needs to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation BEFORE that person can optionally choose to be baptized.
π₯Goes against and contradicts Acts 8:12, which is a verse that shows a person needs to believe BEFORE being optionally, freely baptized by immersion down into a physical body of water (whether it be a lake, river, ocean, or other bodies of water.)
π₯Goes against 1 John 5:4-13, all of which shows that the Father, the Word/Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost [which is the Trinity - one God, three separate Persons - each separate Person being God] bear record in Heaven of Jesus Christ giving ETERNAL LIFE immediately to any one that believes on him for salvation.
πActs 8:12 says, and Acts 8:36-38 clearly shows, when they believed, they were baptized [of their own free will/ their own optional/voluntary choice]. To believe on the risen Lord Jesus Christ, comes before physical water baptism. For anyone to look at and read them, and see the incredible connection between Acts 8:4, 12, Acts 8:36,37,38, and 1 John 5:4-13, those verses are shown below:
Acts 8:4, 12 KJB
[4] Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. ...[12] But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. β

Acts 8:36-38 KJB
[36] And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
[37] 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.
[38] And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. β

1 John 5:4-13
[4] For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
[5] Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
[6] This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
[7] For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
[8] And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
[9] If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
[10] He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
[11] And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
[12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
[13] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. β

Acts 8:36-38 demolishes C.I. Scofieldβs denial of Acts 8:37 being Scripture, as Acts 8:37 shows to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ is how someone is saved and believing comes before baptism by immersion. (If anyone wants extra Acts 8:37, go to "The evidence for Acts 8:37 Go-To List Post") Link.
