Peter’s Visit to Cornelius Marks Gentile Baptism in Caesarea
The account narrates Cornelius, a devout Roman centurion, sending for Peter after an angelic vision. Peter’s vision about clean and unclean beasts precedes the Holy Spirit’s fall on Gentiles, leading to baptism and inclusion of non Jews. The piece cites Galatians and Johns letters to reinforce unity in Christ and love in action.
