GENTILE CONVERSION AND BAPTISM

44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came downr on all those who heard the message. 45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were amazed because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.s 46 For they heard them speaking in tonguesA and declaring the greatness of God.

Then Peter responded, 47 “Can anyone withhold water and prevent these people from being baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”t
