The correct answer is The Jews, the Samaritans, and the Gentiles. In the early days of Christianity, Peter played a significant role in spreading the Gospel to different groups of people. He preached to the Jews, who were the first to receive the message. He also preached to the Samaritans, who were considered a mixed race and were often looked down upon by the Jews. Lastly, Peter preached to the Gentiles, who were non-Jews and were considered outsiders to the Jewish community. By unlocking the door of salvation for these three groups, Peter ensured that the message of the Gospel reached a wide range of people.Rate this question:

- A.
30
- B.
38
- C.

The plan of salvation Peter opened to the Gentiles differed from that which he had preached to the Jews in that:
- A.
Circumcision was not a requirement for salvation for the Gentiles.
- B.
The Gentiles were required to embrace Judaism.
- C.
Baptism was considered a profession of faith instead of a requirement.
- D.
There was no difference.
Correct Answer
D. There was no difference.Explanation
The correct answer is that there was no difference. This means that the plan of salvation for the Gentiles was the same as the one preached to the Jews. This is supported by the events described in the book of Acts, where Peter had a vision that showed him that God had accepted the Gentiles without requiring them to embrace Judaism or be circumcised. This revelation led Peter to baptize the Gentiles, indicating that baptism was considered a profession of faith rather than a requirement for salvation. Thus, the plan of salvation for both Jews and Gentiles was the same, with no differences.Rate this question:

Which of the following is a possible reason why God filled Cornelius and his household with the Holy Ghost prior to them being baptized in water?
- A.
God was demonstrating that only the Holy Ghost, not water baptism, was essential for Gentiles to be saved.
- B.
Given the attitude of the Jews toward Gentiles, it is unlikely Peter would have baptized them had God not first demonstrated His acceptance of them by baptizing them with the Holy Ghost.
- C.
God was trying to teach the church that emphasizing things like water baptism is legalism and should be avoided.
- D.
By giving the Holy Ghost to the Gentiles before Peter finished preaching, God was illustrating that a preacher is unnecessary for salvation.
Correct Answer
B. Given the attitude of the Jews toward Gentiles, it is unlikely Peter would have baptized them had God not first demonstrated His acceptance of them by baptizing them with the Holy Ghost.Explanation
The answer suggests that the reason why God filled Cornelius and his household with the Holy Ghost prior to their water baptism was to demonstrate God's acceptance of Gentiles. The attitude of the Jews towards Gentiles was one of exclusion and discrimination, so it is unlikely that Peter would have baptized them without God's demonstration of acceptance through the Holy Ghost. This event challenged the prevailing beliefs and prejudices of the time and showed that Gentiles were also eligible for salvation.Rate this question:
