While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. And those of the circumcision (Jews) who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. Acts 10:44,45 (Conclusion)

God had to perform several miracles with angelic visitations and Divine timing to get a Jew and Gentile together. Jews were not to associate with Gentiles much less invite them into the church and they were not even to eat with them, so God's vision was apropos.

Over 40 years ago a visiting angel whom I picked up off the road confirmed that I was to go into the ministry of residential care that began a 30-year journey working with drug addicts, alcoholics, and the demonized! Before this Jesus took me to a graveyard and called me into the ministry and ordained me.

This mighty move of God would stir up a war with the Jewish brethren who were appalled that Peter would dare associate with Gentiles and even eat with them! This would be the beginning of the Gentile church that would ultimately move across the world led by the apostle, Saul/Paulus of Tarsus!

For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered, “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days. Acts 10:46-48
