Commentary on Acts 8:12
When Samaritans believed Philip's preaching about 'the kingdom of God' and 'the name of Jesus Christ,' they were baptized. This demonstrates saving faith's response: belief leads to baptism as a visible sign of invisible grace. The dual emphasis on God's kingdom and Jesus' name shows the gospel's comprehensive claim - Jesus as the Messiah-King establishing God's reign. Reformed theology sees effective calling here: the Spirit worked through Philip's preaching to grant faith and repentance. Both men and women believed, showing the gospel's universal appeal.
