Acts 9:32-11:18

Peter underscores a connection between Christian baptism when he proclaims, “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” (Acts 10:47) He has given his witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ in the home of a man named Cornelius. Cornelius and others who are present have accepted Peter's message. And the Holy Spirit has filled them. They are ready to be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
