[daniel1212]

Why don't you do kind of a novel thing, and actually read the responses to your argument and interact with them, instead of just insolently asking questions as if they were not, and also in this case go and contend against far weightier Catholic sources which disagree with you. If you actually allowed yourself to see such. As you act as if you do not, then you are wasting my my time, perhaps by design. Bye.

what does the Bible say in Acts 10 that Cornelius and his family did prior to receiving the Holy Spirit?
did they:
repent of their sins? NO
express belief that Jesus is the Son of God? NO
ask Jesus into their heart and accept Him as their personal Savior? NO
what was the “gift of the Holy Spirit” that they received?
TONGUES

there, i saved you the trouble of answering them. Cornelius, his family and the brethern that accompanied Peter had the Holy Spirit fall on them and give them the gift of tongues WHILE PETER WAS STILL SPEAKING.

The Holy Spirit was showing Peter salvation was for the Gentiles, as well as physical Jews.

Cornelius and his family still needed their sins remitted and to put on Christ, the Bible says this is done by BAPTISM.

BTW- i understand your getting testy when your 16th century tradition of men beliefs are challenged by Scripture. i would be uncomfortable too if i brought a different doctrine than the Apostles taught and the Church has believed for 2,000 years.
