Acts 10: The Smoking Gun?

[Sam]

I realize this thread has been dormant for a while but I saw something earlier this evening I would like to include.

This is a paragraph from an article titled "True and False Holiness" by Andrew Urshan. This article appeared on pages 3, 20 and 21 of the March 1962 Pentecostal Herald. Bro. Andrew Urshan was a respected pioneer in the Pentecostal movement but he saw things differently than some. I have bolded the words I want to point out.

Cornelius was a devout man, a man of prayer and fasting, giving alms, very sincere, fearing God. I suppose in these days some people would call him a perfect man of God, but the answer of God to this man's righteousness or holiness was that he should send to Peter, and that he would come and teach him the words by which he might be saved. And we read that while Peter was speaking to him, he believed the gospel. By that faith his heart was cleansed, and that is why the Holy Spirit fell on him.
