I think the point is being missed here. The glory of this chapter is the fact this is where the Gentiles (everyone not a Jew) received the baptism of the Holy Ghost ( Acts 2:1-4). So, how did they know that the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles? Notice verse 46 "For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God."
There was physical evidence that the Spirit of the Almight God had baptized the house of Cornelius! But don't forget that the Holy Ghost is just one part... the following verses tells us the rest... "Then answered Peter,47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord." According to Acts 2:38.
