<TITLE>18. Par 64-66</TITLE>L-64 Now, then while Peter was on the housetop one time, at Simon the tanner, he saw a vision. Because Cornelius a Gentile... There's the Jew, Samaritan, now the Gentile. And Peter was on the housetop, taking a little nap before dinner, while they was fixing dinner, and he seen a sheet being lowered down. All kinds of unclean, creeping animals from the earth was on it. And then when he did that, he heard a voice, saying, "Rise, Peter, slay and eat."
He said, "Nothing's ever come in my mouth unclean."
Said, "Don't you call unclean what I call... or, common and unclean what I call clean." See, that was the Gentiles.
And then when he come out of the vision, there was two men standing at the gate, calling for him to go up. And the Spirit told him, "Rise and go. Don't think about nothing, just go on with them." Went to the house of Cornelius. He gathered...
Cornelius was a centurion, and he called all his band together. And they were all in there, and Peter was explaining to them what had happened. And Cornelius told him that he had saw an Angel that told him to go down and ask for one Simon, at a fellow Simon the tanner's house. And while Peter was speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on them which heard the Word. Peter said, "Can we forbid water, seeing that they have received the Holy Ghost like we did?" And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.

L-65 Now, Acts 19, if you want... That's Acts 10:49 there, sister, if you're putting it down. See? Acts 10:49, All right, 10:47, on down to the end of the chapter, read it.
And then when they come now to Acts, Acts 19... baptism mentioned again. Paul... Now, now that makes everybody...
Now, the only time baptism was ever rendered was by John the Baptist first. They were baptized over there. They... Now, but they wasn't baptized in the name of Jesus, 'cause they didn't know who He was yet. See? Now. But now, when Jesus said in Matthew 28:19, "Baptize in the name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost," and gave that expression to the man He gave the keys to, that had the revelation of what it was all about, revealed from heaven...

L-66 That's what you're getting right now, the revelation from heaven to straighten it out. It'll hit the target if you'll just stay right with it. It's zeroed all right. It hit it then. Peter had the vision zeroed it. This does it too. It brings it right back in. The gun's shooting where it's supposed to shoot now. See?
Now, then Paul was the, was the apostle to the Gentiles. Is that right? He was the Gentile... 'Cause God sent him to the Gentiles. Now, here... Everybody then was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Every one. The Jews, were they baptized in Jesus' name? Acts 2:38. Samaritans, Acts 8. Was they baptized in Jesus' name? All right. Gentiles? In Acts 10:49 they was baptized in Jesus' name, wasn't they?
Well, now, there was some more people running around there that isn't baptized in Jesus' name, yet they've been baptized. "I guess it'll be all right then. So just let them alone, 'cause they've been baptized. What difference does it make? Baptized by John." We want to, we want to see whether this is essential or not. Praise God.
