Ethiopian Eunuch Acts 8, Acts 2, are either Israel or a convert to Judaism. so their baptism is that of John's Baptism as commanded in Matthew 28.

The Philippian keeper of the Jail was a whole other event and it had to do with Paul's position as the Apostle to the Gentiles. he and his whole house believed on Christ it is said later they believed in God he and his whole house. they were baptized but it is not said why. it could be just the way Paul did things early on and that later changed. by his address to the Corinthians Paul doesn't even mention baptizing the Jailer in his testimony of who he baptized. 1Cor 1:14-17 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
