Acts 10:47 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Acts 10:47

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 10:46-48

Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water . . . which have received the Holy Ghost, etc.—Mark, he does not say, They have received the Spirit, what need have they for water? but, Having the living discipleship imparted to them and visibly stamped upon them, what objection can there be to admitting them, by the seal of baptism, into the full fellowship of the Church?
