Commentary on Acts 8:13
Simon 'believed also' and was baptized - but verses 18-23 would reveal his heart remained unchanged. This raises the distinction between genuine saving faith and intellectual assent. Simon's continued amazement at miracles suggests attraction to power rather than submission to Christ as Lord. Reformed theology distinguishes between temporary faith (James 2:19) and true saving faith that perseveres. Simon's profession was outward only, as Peter later discerns his heart remains 'in the gall of bitterness' (v.23). Not all who profess and are baptized possess genuine faith.
