Hit to all , and do you have to be cicumcisied to be saved , and I say NO .
In Acts 10:44 , Peter is talking to and the Holy Spirit fell on ALL which heard the word .
And in verse 45 , they of the CIRCUMCISION or the Jews which believed were astonished , because the that on the GENTILES also was poured out the Holy Spirit . Then in verse 47 , Peter says , can anyone FORBID that these should NOT be baptized which have received the Holy Spirit as well as we .
They had the WITNESS that they were saved the " falling of the Holy Spirit " and the speaking in tongues .
Then Peter commanded that Cornelius be Baptized .
This is the same message that has not change , since John the Baptist in Matt 3:2 and John 20:23 .
Cornelius has to then become a Jew , wuith out a doubt .
In Acts 10:1-2 that Cornelius was a Devout man , Feared God , and gave money to the people , and PRAYED to God and verse 4 proves it .
Was Cornelius CIRCUMCISIED , YES AND NO !
His CIRCUMCISION was not PHYSICAL . lets look at the record in Romans .
In Rom 2:26 shows how Cornelius was Circumcisied ;
#1 , Therefore if the Uncircumcision , talking about Cornelius , keep the righteousness of the Law , talking about Cornelius , Shall not his UNCIRCUMCISION be counted for Circumcision .
#2 , so , we see that Cornelius was already Circumcised and was saved as well as Peter , so much for Circumcision for today !! dan p
