Philip preached distinctively!
Philip preached "Christ unto them" (Acts 8:5). However, the context tells us a little about what he said.
Preaching Jesus involves more than merely invoking His name or telling people that He loves them.
Verse 12 tells us, "...they heard him preaching things 'concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, and then, the text tells us how they responded to the preaching: they were baptized both men and women'."
Thus preaching Christ involved something about:
(1) the kingdom,
(2) the name (authority) of Jesus and
(3) responding in baptism.
