Bible Note: Then please enlighten us as to what the case of Cornelius IS talking about. Scripture helps us understand Scripture. Did Cornelius receive the Holy Spirit or not? The apostle sure seemed to think so (he specifically uses this term, despite your insistence that Cornelius did not receive Him), and the inspired Luke sure didn't disagree with him. So tell us, Tim, what was the deal with Cornelius? Are you right or is the Bible right about Cornelius RECEIVING the Spirit? --Joe! |
