The background to this article is the view sometimes still promoted that Paul was not converted, and that the Damascus Road experience was only a call to ministry. However, the way Luke portrays Paul in Acts 8-Acts 10 shows Saul to lack a right relationship with God. Luke accomplish this picture in part by contrasting the pre-conversion Saul with Stephen, the Ethiopian eunuch, and Cornelius.

What is the significance of the conversion of Simon the magician that Luke recounts in Acts 8:4-13? This article considers this question in the light of other material in Acts.

Acts 4:1-41, Acts 8:14-25, Acts 10:1-11:18 and Acts 19:1-17 have all been used to propagate the teaching that after regeneration one must still undergo an experience of baptism by the Holy Spirit. By examining the context of these texts, the author shows that such claims are false.
