Bible Question (short): Scripture is clear if we are open, right |
Question (full): How did the believing Jews know these Gentiles had received the Holy Spirit? How were they commanded to be baptized? Acts 10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them thatheard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision that believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47 Can any man forbid the water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we? 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. |
