Acts 10:7-48 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household
servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually; And when he had declared all these things
unto them, he sent them to Joppa. On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter
went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour ... And the voice [of God] spake unto him [Peter] again the
second time, *What God hath cleansed [with His blood on the cross], that call not thou common [unclean]. ... Now
while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent
from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate, And called, and asked whether
Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there. While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him,
Behold, three men seek thee. Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have
sent them. ... Now therefore are we all here present [back at the house of Cornelious in Caesarea] before God, to
hear all things that are commanded thee [Peter] of God. Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I
perceive that God is no respecter of persons [Jew or Gentile]: But **in every Nation he that feareth Him [God], and
worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him. The word which God sent unto the Children of Israel, preaching peace
by Jesus Christ: He is Lord of all: That Word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea [Israel],
and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; *How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the
Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God
was with Him. **And we are witnesses of all things which He [Jesus] did both in the land of the Jews, and in [Holy
Week] Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day, and shewed Him openly
[visibly]; ***Not to all the people [only Christians (Firstfruits) those haven received the born again' Spirit of Jesus
witnessed the Resurrection of Jesus], but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us [Apostles], who did eat
and drink [feasting] with Him after He rose from the dead. And He commanded us to preach unto the people, and to
testify that it is He which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick [living] and dead. To Him give all the
prophets witness, that *through His Name *whosoever believeth in Him *shall receive remission of sins. While
Peter yet spake these words, ***the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word [the 3rd and final ethnic
Pentecost globally opening the Christian Church to Gentiles]. And they of the circumcision [Jewish Christians]
which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the
gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, Can any
man forbid [Baptism] water, that these should not be Baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
*And he commanded them to be Baptized in the Name of the Lord [Father, Son Jesus, Holy Spirit]. Then *prayed
[communicated] they him to tarry certain days. - Note: By this time in history with the move of the Holy Spirit to
allow Gentiles into the Christian this is about 48 A.D. with the cross, resurrection and Pentecost occurring in about
33 A.D. the Christian Church has been firmly established and is about 15 years old when Gentiles are brought into
Christian Fellowship with God. The as a result of Gentiles coming directly into the Christian Church in about 51
A.D. the Christian Church will have its first council the Council of Jerusalem to decide the validity and positioning
of Gentiles in the already well established Christian Church. The decision will be that Gentiles who have also been
bought by the blood of Jesus Christ are to be welcomed into the Christian Church as full and equal members in the
one universal Church body of the resurrected Jesus Christ.
{Basic Christian: blog Bible Study} Acts 12 - The Apostle James the
representative of [and Apostle to] the redeemed group of Martyred
Saints of Revelation is himself Martyred -- 'Acts 12:1-2 Now about that
time Herod [Antipas] the king [the son of King Herod the Great of
Matthew 2:1] stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.' Note: Jesus
only allowed the Disciples Peter, John and James [each representing a
distinct group of redeemed - saved people] to witness and participate
