THE CONFESSION
& CONVERSION
Acts 10:34-48 King James Version (KJV)
34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said,
Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in every nation he that
feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. 36 The word which God sent
unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of
all:) 37 That word, I say, ye know,
which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the
baptism which John preached; 38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with
power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the
devil; for God was with him. 39 And we
are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in
Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; 41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even
to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that
it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. 43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name
whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 44 While Peter yet spake these
words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision which believed
were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also
was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.
Then answered Peter, 47 Can
any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received
the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48 And
he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him
to tarry certain days.
