Subject: WERE THERE ONLY JEWS AT THE PENTECOST? |
Bible Note: Emmaus, You said: "Actually the Gospel was opened to the Gentiles before Paul through Peter under the direction of the Holy Spirit when he preached to and baptized Cornelius and his household in Acts 10 and 11." When I had mentioned that the Gospel was not open to the Gentiles until the ministry of Paul, I was including the time of Paul's ministry immediately after his conversion in Acts chapter nine. Although you are completely correct to say that the Gentiles did not recieve the Gospel until quite a bit later. I had assumed that Paul was reaching Gentiles in the earliest parts of his ministry, when in fact, he may have only preached the Gospel to the Jews earlier on. - Acts 9 19 and he took food and was strengthened. Now for several days he was with the disciples who were at Damascus, 20 and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, "He is the Son of God." 21 All those hearing him continued to be amazed, and were saying, "Is this not he who in Jerusalem destroyed those who called on this name, and who had come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the chief priests?" 22 But Saul kept increasing in strength and confounding the Jews who lived at Damascus by proving that this Jesus is the Christ.
