Cornelius The Roman Centurion
Cornelius and His Household Receive the Holy Spirit:
- As Peter is speaking, the Holy Spirit falls upon all who hear the message, and they begin speaking in tongues and praising God.
- Peter then baptizes Cornelius and his household, welcoming them into the community of believers.
This event is significant because it demonstrates God's intention to extend salvation to the Gentiles, not just the Jews. It marks a pivotal moment in the early church's expansion beyond its Jewish origins.
