Acts 10:41-48

41 not to everyone, but only to the witnesses that God had already chosen, that is, to us who ate and drank with him after he rose from death.
42 And he commanded us to preach the gospel to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God has appointed judge of the living and the dead.
43 All the prophets spoke about him, saying that all who believe in him will have their sins forgiven through the power of his name."
44 While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit came down on all those who were listening to his message.
45 The Jewish believers who had come from Joppa with Peter were amazed that God had poured out his gift of the Holy Spirit on the Gentiles also.
46 For they heard them speaking in strange tongues and praising God's greatness. Peter spoke up:
47 "These people have received the Holy Spirit, just as we also did. Can anyone, then, stop them from being baptized with water?"
48 So he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay with them for a few days.
