Acts 10
1.Cornelius, a devout man, being commanded by an angel, sends for Peter,
11.who by a vision is taught not to despise the Gentiles;
17.and is commanded by the Spirit to go with the messenger to Caesarea.
25.Cornelius shows the occasion of his sending for him.
34.As he preaches Christ to Cornelius and his company,
44.the Holy Spirit falls on them, and they are baptized.














Can anyone withhold the water to baptize these people?
This phrase is a rhetorical question posed by Peter, highlighting the divine approval of Gentile inclusion in the early Christian community. The context is Peter's vision and subsequent visit to Cornelius, a Roman centurion, which signifies the breaking of Jewish-Gentile barriers. Baptism, a rite of initiation into the Christian faith, symbolizes purification and the believer's identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The question underscores the universality of the gospel, as Peter recognizes that no human tradition or prejudice should prevent those whom God has accepted from being baptized. This moment marks a pivotal shift in the early church's understanding of God's plan for salvation, aligning with the Great Commission inMatthew 28:19, where Jesus commands His disciples to make disciples of all nations.

They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have!
The reception of the Holy Spirit by Cornelius and his household is a significant event, demonstrating that God's gift is not limited by ethnicity or cultural background. This mirrors the experience of the apostles at Pentecost (Acts 2), where the Holy Spirit was poured out, empowering them for ministry. The phrase "just as we have" emphasizes the equality of Gentile believers with Jewish believers, affirming that the same Spirit who empowered the apostles is now at work among the Gentiles. This event fulfills the prophecy ofJoel 2:28-29, where God promises to pour out His Spirit on all people. It also reflects the promise ofActs 1:8, where Jesus tells His disciples they will be His witnesses to the ends of the earth, indicating the global scope of the gospel. The inclusion of Gentiles without the prerequisite of adhering to Jewish law foreshadows the decisions made at the Jerusalem Council inActs 15, where the early church leaders affirm that salvation is through grace alone.

What Does Acts 10:47 Mean
Can anyone

• Peter voices a rhetorical question, inviting his Jewish companions to examine their hearts (Acts 11:12).

• The Gospel has just broken a cultural barrier; this question presses for a unanimous response, echoing how Jesus challenged traditions inMark 7:8-13.

• The implication: no one has the right to oppose what God has clearly initiated (Isaiah 14:27).

withhold the water

• Water baptism is the God-ordained public sign of faith (Matthew 28:19).

• Peter’s wording reveals urgency—delaying obedience is tantamount to resisting God (Acts 22:16).

• The phrase recalls how Philip and the eunuch “came to some water” and baptized immediately (Acts 8:36-38).

to baptize these people?

• “These people” are Gentiles, specifically Cornelius and his household (Acts 10:24).

• The Spirit’s work proves that all nations are welcomed exactly as promised to Abraham (Genesis 12:3;Galatians 3:8).

• No additional ritual, law-keeping, or ethnic status is required (Ephesians 2:13-18).

They have received the Holy Spirit

• The unmistakable evidence: they spoke in tongues and magnified God (Acts 10:44-46), paralleling Pentecost (Acts 2:4).

• The Spirit is the seal of salvation (Ephesians 1:13-14), making it clear that God Himself has already accepted them.

• What God has cleansed must not be called common (Acts 10:15).

just as we have!

• Peter levels the ground between Jew and Gentile—no spiritual hierarchy exists (Romans 3:29-30).

• This statement validates the Gentile mission later affirmed at the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15:7-11).

• It underscores unity in Christ: “For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body” (1 Corinthians 12:13).

summary

Acts 10:47 challenges every barrier we erect. Peter’s question shows that when God grants the Holy Spirit, the church must respond with immediate, joyful inclusion through baptism. The verse affirms that salvation is entirely God’s work, freely offered to all, and that believers are called to recognize and celebrate that work without hesitation or discrimination.

(47)Can any man forbid water . . .--The question was an appeal to the voice of reason. Could the outward sign be refused, when thus the inward and spiritual grace had been so manifestly bestowed? Ordinarily, as in the case of the Samaritans (Acts 8:15-17), the gift of spiritual powers followed, by the subsequent act of laying on of hands, on the grace given in baptism. Now even that gift had been anticipated, and all that remained was the outward act of incorporation with the society which owned Christ as its Head. While the history thus bore its witness that the gifts of God may flow through other channels than the outward forms which Christ had appointed, it testified no less clearly that no spiritual gifts, however marvellous, superseded the necessity of obedience to the law of Christ which had appointed those outward forms. The exceptional gift was bestowed, in this instance, to remove the scruples which "those of the circumcision" might otherwise have felt as to admitting Gentiles, as such, to baptism; and having served that purpose, as a crucial instance, was never afterwards, so far as we know, repeated under like conditions.

Verse 47. -The water forwater, A.V. They actually had the Spirit, which God himself supplied; could any one object to their having the water also, which was the part of the sacrament which it rested with man to supply, in order to complete the new birth (John 3:5)?
