IMB controveresy - Part 2

Here is my long overdue position and thoughts on the current Inertnational Mission Board (IMB) controveresy. I am going to stick to the baptism portion of this issue because I am currently doing a research paper on the topic and I am able to better address the baptism issue because of it. I might address the private prayer language issue in the future, but not in this post.
I posted a few weeks ago the passage from Acts about the eunuch from Ethiopia which recounted his conversion and baptism experience and I will make reference to that throughout this post. I believe this passage from Acts clearly indicates a point that is being missed by the people that are citing "biblical evidence" for their cases supporting the new policy. For a brief description of that policy and the Acts passage, see my earlier post. I have concluded from careful study of that passage that Philip was not a member of the First Baptist Church of Jerusealem, the desert road, or Ethiopia. Philip was traveling along a desert road outside of Jerusalem, because an angel of the Lord told him to do so, and he did. Philip did what God told him to do and he came across the Ethiopian eunuch reading Isaiah, but not understanding what he was reading, he asked Philip for help. Philip helped the eunuch understand and the eunuch asked him about who Isaiah had been writing, and Philip explained. The eunuch eventually wanted to know what he had to do to be baptized and Philip gave it too him plain and simple. Verse 37 says "[And Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." From there they went down to the water and Philip baptized the eunuch right then and there. Don't just notice what this verse says, notice what it does NOT say. This verse does not say, Okay, now that you have believed, we must turn our chariots around, go back to Jerusalem, find the ordained preacher, and he can baptize you at our next baptism service which is in two weeks. Am I reading too much into what Philip did not say? Maybe, but I could not be appointed as an IMB missionary todady if I was the Ethiopian eunich. Can anyone give me their "biblical evidence" against this passage in Acts?
I agree that we must have accountability in who the IMB and the SBC appoints as missionaries, but I believe the IMB has gone too far in this. One final question for all of you. I realize that John the Baptist was the forerunner of Jesus Christ and an incredible man of God but... Was John the Baptist the ordained pastor of a local church when he baptized Jesus Christ? If John the Baptist was not, is the baptism of our Lord, Jesus Christ, not valid according to the new guidelines of the IMB? Just a question!
