Trained To Be Moved By The Spirit

Acts 10:44-48

While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter said, 'Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptised with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.' So he ordered that they be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days. (NIVUK)

The Apostle Peter was on a training course. God was teaching him that Jesus had come to save everybody who would believe in Him, not only Jews (Acts 10:28). It was a difficult transition for the devout leader of the apostolic group. Like the others, he had been brought up to believe that only Israelites could belong to God's people. Yes, non-Jews could be included if they converted, but otherwise Gentiles (everybody who was not a Jew) would always be excluded.
