God is good

The Bible speaks to three different people, the Jew, the Christian and the Gentile. There are divisions of dispensations that many people who read the Bible can not understand which rightly divide the word. Acts is a transitional book, Acts 2 has nothing to do with Christians. It was a Jewish feast for jews and only happened one time in history. Paul tells us in 1Cor.15:1-4 how we as Gentiles are to be saved. It has NOTHING to do with water. Those that teach otherwise are false according to God 's word.

John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother 's womb Luke 1:15. No tongues.Jesus had the Holy Ghost without measure Jn 3:34 and didn 't speak in tongues. Jesus never spoke in tongues although He knows all things Jn 21:17. The apostles had John 's baptism and were never baptized according to Acts 2:38 and straight to Heaven they went. Jesus didn 't baptize Jn 4:2. Thats strange if water baptism saves. Are all apostles? No. are all prophets? No. are all teachers? No. are all workers of miracles? No. Have all the gifts of healing? No. do all speak with tongues? No. Covet the best gifts. Charity is the best gift. This modern generation is so concerned with gifts and not the fruit of the Spirit. Children are concerned with gifts and their own edification 1 Cor 3:1-3. Give one reference where tongues are commanded.

Part 2 of 2 God has not changed. He is still pouring out his spirit upon all flesh. When God does not fill the people then they start making up all kind of stories to excuse why they did not get it. However, the simple truth is that they have not truly repented in their heart. One thing God cannot do and that is lie. His word is the truth. Therefore, when Peter stated on the day of Pentecost that the promise is for everyone, Acts 2 39 God still honors that today.

Part 1 of 2 The reason why some people are not being filled with the Holy Ghost is because they truly have not let go of the world in their heart. God looks at the heart of everyone. Repentance is a godly sorrow that will affect emotions, 2 Corinthians 7 9 and 10. When God looks at the heart and sees that a person is truly repented then there is a circumcision of the heart pricked in the heart this prompts a true repentance of emotion, Romans 2 29, Colossians 2 11, Acts 2 37.

Hello Robert and James The Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the spirit of God gives utterance is not just for the Jews. It is for everyone, Acts 2 39. There is another example of the first Gentile to receive this gift, that is Cornelius and his household Acts Chapter 10. Even though people may choose not to believe it, it still does not negate the fact that a person has to follow Acts 2 38 for salvation this is fact according to the word of God.

James you are right on. Verses 45 and 46 coinside with 1Cor.1 22 and 1 Cor.14 22 that tongues are a SIGN to the Jews. There are four ways that people are saved in Acts and this is one of them. Remember Acts is a transitional book, from the gospels to the church age. Also no one after Acts 2 38 gets the Holy Spirit when he is baptized in water. We receive the Holy Spirit our salvation by FAITH.

Hello Mary, I absolutely concur with you. Though my Catholics friends and some others will definitely disagree there is no biblical evidence that suggests Peter was a Pope at anytime or anywhere. This chapter 10 tells us exactly how peter felt about the Gentiles even though God reproved him for his spiritual bias, it is very unlikely that he would have ended up in Rome as the first Pope. Blessings!

goes to show you Rome is wrong about peter being the first pope..there is a fine line between a lie and the truth...and they polished it..presented it...as truth to a gullible people...but only to those that dont read the scriptures..

Greetings to you all. Acts Chapter 10 is all interesting. However, I will only pick the fact that these Gentiles received the baptism of the Holy Ghost Holy Spirit before they were baptized with water. Hehehehe...Water Baptism, the baptism of John, is for repentance from sin and dead works. But notice here in Acts 10 that these men repented without necessarily having been water baptized. If their repentance had not been effective, they would not have received the Holy Ghost. I love to read that Peter commanded they be baptized it is not Peter who Baptized them but his deputies. Now, I am not saying water Baptism is not important but definately not a prerequisite for baptism with the Holy Ghost. Repentance is the prerequisite for Baptism with the Holy Ghost.

Every person in Acts 2 is a Mosaic law observing Old Testament Jew. In fact, they are all gathered together to observe a JEWISH FEAST called Pentecost verse 1 . A fair reading of the whole chapter especially verses 4, 14, and 36 will clearly reveal that no Gentiles non Jews are present. Since this involves Jews, it involves a NATION verse 36!! , not individuals. No one asked, "What must I do to be saved? " The question asked concerned the NATION of Israel "Men and brethren, what shall we do? " verse 37 Not, "What shall I do, " but rather, "What shall WE do? " Acts 2 presents a NATION of people who come to realize that they have murdered their blessed Messiah and they 're asking what THEY must do. It 's a question concerning NATIONAL salvation. Isaiah 66 8 says, ". . . shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. " The "nation " is Israel! Romans 11 26 says, "And so all Israel shall be saved as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. " Acts 2 38 is dealing with NATIONAL salvation. The Messianic Kingdom is still available to the Jews until Acts 7 60 when they kill Stephen , so national salvation remains an issue until then.

God was saying Peter should go forth and preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to the Gentiles and all the nations of the World outside of the Jews .God has demonstrated here that He is not a respected of persons but those that love and fear Him.

chapter 25 26 peter show himself humble to cornilus he never treat him as a small peason but humble so let us show homble to each other not allwayz filing too big to others

In the last part of verse 43 Peter preaches "That through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive REMISSION OF SINS. " Similar words are also found in Acts 2 38, where Peter preaches to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the REMISSION OF SINS. Could Peter be preaching two different ways of receiving remission of sins? Please notice that in Acts 10 43 it says through his name whosoever believes receives remission of sins. I believe that through his name in verse 43 is referring to baptism in the name of Jesus. Please also notice that the gentiles received the Holy Spirit and was baptized in the name of the Lord which of course is the name of Jesus. In Acts 2 38 Peter preached repent be baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the Holy Spirit. Acts 2 38 and the gentile conversion in Acts 10 are in perfect agreement.

Jesus showed total goodness for which is based upon His moral character, and how much more should we follow as well

i think it teach 's us people all around the world, who are God fearing that we must not judge each other becouse God loves all who beleaves in him

these words describe a true christen attribute the body of Christ need to exhibit this attribute in other to reach out to the lost

Holy spirit teach us to speak in tongues and your love.

God's respect his sent man that is on this earth.... coz though he answered Cornelius' prayer he told him to First see the man of God to bless him

We thanks amighty God,for his son which he inugurated with holy ghost and power,to do good to men,also to set men free from the oppression of that enemies.

I thank God for his undivided Love for us the Gentiles, through repentance, baptism in JESUS name and infilling of the Holy Ghost

Acts 10 for me is saying that every tribe and nation may receive the gift of Christ. That our father is king over all creation and his only begotten son came to save us all. It also lends us to not judge one by their race or nationality to except all who claim Jesus as his or her savior in this we must include the church and never feel as though one is better than the other but cling to the word of God for salvation is in faith. The sheet and it's four corners covering the earth is the purity of Jesus covering the earth in his sacrifice cleaning all sins if ask in faith and reverence, showing Peter that even a centurion is cleansed by the love of Christ. In this meeting by obeying the spirit both Peter and the Centurion teach us that our Savior will lead us to meet those not of our immediate flock of which we must treat with the respect of Christ, far be it we snub our nose and miss the magic of where two that gather he is in the midst. The Pentecostal, Catholic, and Baptist Christian to mention only a few must greet each other with the love of Christ for all are covered by the sheet and all may take of the flesh if truly they love Jesus Christ.

If one has been baptized with the Holy Spirit, it is evident that it has been received by the evidence of speaking in tongues.

The spirit of whom that raise Jesus up should be in you
Jesus said to the disciples after he rose from the dead..."you'll be baptised by the holy spirit a few days from now"(Acts1:5)
We need to filled/baptised with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues( Acts 10:44-46)
We need to be baptised with the Holy Spirit as it happen in the Acts of the apostles so we can enter into the Kingdom of God(John3:5)

Is receiving and baptized with the Holy Spirit tge same thing,the same strength.

Many have created enemies in order to define themselves, boldly judging those Jesus is not judging, quick to proclaim uncleanness in others, especially those deemed unclean by popular opinion.

God is no respector of person. Acts 10:34, what he'll do for Joshua, he'll do for me. I believe where ever my feet treads, I can raise my hands before Heaven & ask God to take the blinders from people's minds. That the Glorious Gospel of Christ should be revealed to them, 2 Corin. 4:4 While God has made wonderful provisions for us, He has blessed this Nation & we
should always remember Israel, support her & pray for her.

Manvilla Kemp's comment is 100% correct.

"This vision had nothing to do with meat."
