10:28 Contact with Gentiles meant risking ceremonial uncleanness. Peter indicated that his vision taught him that these standards had been superseded.
10:34-35 God’s impartiality means that he does not treat any group of people differently. He seeks out those who humbly respond to his grace, whether Jew or Gentile. Sincerity is the result, not the cause, of God’s grace.
10:44-47 Belief, receiving the Spirit, and baptism are again equated with conversion. The Jewish believers who were with Peter expressed surprise that Gentiles had received the Holy Spirit (as at Pentecost, 11:16-17). Salvation is extended fully to Gentiles.
