"These non-Jews have received the Holy Spirit just as we Jews have"

Written By Christ The Reconciler

(44) While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit came upon everyone who heard his message. (45) The circumcised Jewish believers who had come with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on non-Jews, (46) for they heard them speaking in tongues (spiritual languages) and praising God. Then Peter said, (47) “These non-Jews have received the Holy Spirit just as we Jews have; surely no one can stop them from being baptized in water.” (48) So Peter told the Jews to baptize them in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for several days.
