Acts 7-10

I really loved reading about Paul's conversion and Peter opening up the gospel to the Gentiles. Powerful stuff! I love the question Peter asks here when Cornelius's crew come to Jesus.

Acts 10:44-48 (ESV)
While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word.  And the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles. For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared, “Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit  just as we have?” And he  commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.

Hey Jeff!

I see you're a fan of Enter the Haggis (http://jeffwideopen.blogspot.com/2009/01/enter-haggis.html).

Have you heard their new album, "Gutter Anthems"? I'm with the band's label, United For Opportunity. E-mail me at Divya@UFOmusic.net and I'll get a sample from the album to you.

Thanks!
