41 anot to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us bwho ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.

The Holy Spirit Falls on the Gentiles

44 While Peter was still speaking these words, athe Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word.  
45 aAnd1 those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, bbecause the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.  
46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered,
47 “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit ajust as we have?”  
48 aAnd he commanded them to be baptized bin the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.

Acts 10:43

Every one that believeth (panta ton pisteuonta). This accusative active participle of general reference with the infinitive in indirect discourse is the usual idiom. Only labein (second aorist active infinitive of lambanw) is not indirect statement so much as indirect command or arrangement. The prophets bear witness to Jesus Christ to this effect. It is God's plan and no race distinctions are drawn. Peter had already said the same thing at Pentecost (Acts 2:38), but now he sees himself that Gentiles do not have to become Jews, but have only to believe in Jesus as Messiah and Judge as foretold by the prophets. It was glorious news to Cornelius and his group.

Through his name (dia tou onomatov autou), not as a title or magic formula (Acts 18:13), but the power of Christ himself represented by his name.
