Discuss Acts 10 Page 9

Verses 45 is saying that the Gentiles was pour out the gift of the Holy Spirit and verse 46 said they speak in tongues and then in verse 48 Peter commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. so if they were Gentiles they wasn't saved so how did they receive the gift of the Holy Spirit

Father in Heaven please have mercy on AMERICA OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY IN JESUS NAME I PRAY, I'M AFRAID WE ARE SEEING THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF AMERICA.

Every Creature of God is Good and Nothing to be Refused it be Received with Thanksgiving: 1Timothy 4:4

Acts 10 God showed Peter that sheet with all the UNCLEAN ANIMALS which was the CHURCH thats was made CLEAN by the BLOOD, BAPTISM OF THE H.G. NOT WATER BAPTISM THAT PETER WAS COMMANDING AFTER THAT GOD HAD MADE THEM CLEAN BY TH ULTIMATE CLEANSER,WHAT I HAVE HAVE MADE CLEAN DO NOT CALL COMMON OR UNCLEAN.GOD HAS MADE US ALL CLEAN BY THE BLOOD NOT H20 Peter was COMMANDING MAKING THE BLOOD OF NO EFFECT.

People need to understand that Peter fell into a trance vision, and not reality. In v17, he was trying to figure what the vision meant. v28 was the answer to the vision because now we shouldn't call any man common or unclean. It has nothing to do with eating unclean animals. It was about the Most High accepting gentiles by giving them the Holy Spirit. Eating unclean animals is still an abomination

this chapter I understood that God does not deal only with the Israelites, but as long anyone is willing and open hearted receive what the Jews received freely including the spirit of God, The apostle in the dream segregated holiness from ungodliness but God told him that He will be the one to tell who is Holy or not Holy

Verse 39~Jesus' disciples saw and heard the things that he said and did. God made sure that these things were written down by his disciples for our benefit.

Matt (cont.) Rev. 12 and 13 depict very vividly about the Beast that rises out of the earth going forth to persecute and devour the Saints. Many of us always pictured those things as though they should happen in a small time frame; assuming it would mean the imminent response of indignation from heaven and Jesus' coming; instead of rather for understanding it as a forewarning, so we overcome.

Matt; That's a very easy answer:) "The tree is known by its fruits." In the Scriptures of Truth, the record from the beginning was that God would send His Son the Anointed born of a woman to break the devil's head and undo the ruin caused upon man because of sin. All through the ages beginning with Cain wicked men have listened to the devil to try and make themselves another way INSTEAD OF CHRIST!

What calls clean is clean if animal or human

A Disciple - where in the Bible does it say Islam is the devil?

No one comes to the Father except through the Son! If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His! When HE is come (the Holy Spirit) He will not speak of Himself...He will glorify Me! A voice came from the excellent glory, This is my Son the Beloved, Hear Him! The Father is greater than I. That they all may be one, as we are one; as thou Father art in me and I in thee. Abide in me!

Read Acts 4:10-12 and Acts 2:38
In Matthew 28:19 we saw that we were to be baptized in the NAME of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Well, those are not names, those are titles. Verse 12 states that the only name by which we can be saved is the name of Jesus Christ.

"In the name of Jesus" is the only way to approach God the Father. Jesus is the only mediator between God and man.

Thanks Chuck! Well said :) ! Talk to you soon.

Hi Chuck; YES! Amen! "For there is no other name given among men whereby we must be saved." And as far as if Peter (being full of the Holy Ghost) was "mistaken;" that's simply nonsense! The part that I was trying to emphasize, is how the Lord Himself commanded to baptize in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; and that one DOES NOT negate the other! But BOTH ARE TRUE!

To disciple: another way to answer you is this: when I pray for a sick person, I pray in the name of Jesus as does everyone. When I give thanks over a meal, I say in the name of Jesus, as does everyone. And since Col3:17 says everything we do in word or deed , do all in the name of Jesus. That's what I mean when I say someone must be baptized in the name of Jesus. I hope this clarifies the issue.

To disciple; because Peter had been with Jesus, he knew the singular name to use in baptism. Peter wasn't mistaken when he commanded the Jews and Gentiles to be baptized in the name of Jesus. He did exactly what Jesus commanded him to do. He found the singular name that is above all names. The name Jesus instead of titles.

Hello Chuck; so what do you think that means, "In the Name of the Lord JESUS?" And without straining to falsely spiritualize, do you think it overrides what the Lord Himself said; "...In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost?"

Notice Peter commanded Cornelius to be baptized in the name of Jesus , just as he commanded the Jews to be baptized in the name of Jesus. Also the name of the Lord is Jesus. So the Jews and gentiles were commanded to be baptized in the name of Jesus. It is very plain to me.

1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints Thank Lord for your Word that is not confusing.

God, not being One of confusion, showed Peter and Cornelius, similar visions at different times and in different locations. He brought the two together and there was a mighty outpouring of the Holy Ghost, followed by water baptism. A lesson here is the power of fasting- both Cornelius and Peter were fasting when they had their visions. A second lesson is to be able to heed God's Word.

Acts 10 :13-14 13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter kill, and eat. 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. Now Peter is used to following the Old Testament Law. But God is making changes in the book of Act's. God told Peter that he can now eat meat. The book of Act's in a transitional Book, there are many changes happening.

Disciple: Jesus already fulfilled the law. He died and arose again from the dead. You are out of context. Luke 24:44] And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

Ray; Jesus didn't come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; but to accomplish! There is nothing in the New Testament to indicate that there was a different Moshiach or a new religion; like many purport. But what we learn from ALL the Apostles, is that "this same Jesus whom I preach to you IS Christ." Remember when the Lord walked with the two disciples to Emmaus in Luke 24? He expounded all of it!

Acts 10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter kill, and eat. Peter was stuck in the Old Testament teaching of the Messiah. This is where Paul starts to take over later in the chapters. Paul will heal more others and have the Holy Ghost longer. There is a reason for that, only God knows.

Acts 10:28 Then he said to them "You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should NOT call any man common or unclean.

Acts:10:15 And a voice spoke to him and again the second time, What God has cleansed you must not call common.

Read Acts 10:12-14

Acts 10:15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed you must not call common.

Acts 10:28, Then he said to them. "You know how unlawful it it for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But GOD has shown me that I should not call any man COMMON or UNCLEAN.

There are a lot of people with strange teachings; and many really think that we're allowed to interpret the Scriptures any way we want. But the Bible says, One Lord, One faith One baptism, etc... and that we are commanded to "Be of one mind, and all speak the same thing." You are right; Simon the Tanner was a Jew. It was the men who were sent by Cornelius who were not Jews.

In Jesus Christ, I greet you! I'm wondering, why do people say that Peter was contrary to Old Testament law when he lodged with Simon a tanner? Didn't the Jews in Old Testament time use animal skins for clothing? This occupation doesn't seem to violate the rule concerning touching the dead; there was a ceremonious custom to wash after touching the dead to bury them; tanners weren't noncompliant
