Blah to that. What was the end result of Acts 10? Looks like your smoking gun took a "third step".
So Daniel, Peter asked a question. "Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?"
Well can ya? |

And didn't Corn want to hear the commandments of God that were given to Peter?

Gentlemen,
No one denies that a regenerated person possessing genuine faith will be baptism early in his/her conversion ...
I can read further as can everyone else. However, you are yet to reconcile
Romans 8 w/
Acts 10. Cornelius was filled w/ the Holy Spirit ... in your paradigm when he spoke in tongues ... and so if filled then
Romans 8 tells us that he was born of God ...These gaping holes in their theology show that one, namely Cornelius and those in his house, can be declared righteous, quickened unto life, put to death the deeds of the body, be declared His, set free from the law of sin and death .... not condemened in Christ Jesus ... a son of God PRIOR TO BEING FULLY SAVED ... REGENERATED ...OR COMPLETING THE NEW BIRTH PROCESS according to your recipe.
Do you deny he had to Spirit of Christ prior to water baptism?
In your linear view of course he took a third step and many more after ...but we speak of regeneration ...
