Acts 10:46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God.
SPEAKING IN TONGUES
Peter and those with him considered speaking in unlearned languages, as inspired by the Holy Spirit, to be the convincing sign of the baptism in the Spirit. Just as God confirmed His actions at Pentecost by the sign of tongues (Acts 2:4), He causes the Gentiles in Cornelius’ house to speak in tongues as a convincing sign to Peter and the other Jewish believers.

We are honored to remember the many brave men and women who have given their lives throughout the history of our great nation - those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect us from harm. We salute all those now serving, and we pray for their safety and blessing.
Today is the day to thank all those who brightened our lives with happiness and freedom. Let us bow our heads and remember the sacrifices of the soldiers.
A MEMEORAL DAY PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
as our nation pauses today to remember
those in the military who have given
their lives for freedoms we enjoy,
we pray you would have us all look to you for strength,
comfort and guidance.
Be with all who serve in our Armed Forces.
Bless them and their families.
Grant your loving protection.
Let peace prevail among all the nations, O God.
Especially let your mercy rest upon our land,
even as we acknowledge with thanksgiving
your past goodness on this country.
If it is your will, preserve the lives
of the men and women in uniform as they defend our citizenry.
Most of all, we pray that you would turn the hearts
of all – military and civilian – to your holy Word
where we find the true peace for our sinful souls
that surpasses all understanding.
Keep us repentant of sin.
Move us to know, take hold and treasure your saving grace.
You alone give peace and hope for eternity, we pray.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Acts 10:34 Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does now show favoritism
GOD DOES NOT SHOW FAVORITISM
God has no favorite nation or race, nor does He favor any individual because of nationality, birth, or position in life (James 2:1). God favors and accepts those from every nation and people group who turn from their own sinful ways, accept God’s forgiveness, yield their lives to Christ, and obediently follow His purposes for their (Acts 10:35; Romans 2:6-11). All who continue to live by this commitment will continue to experience God’s love and favor (John 15:10).

Acts 8:17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
THEY RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT
Through the laying on of hands (Acts 6:6), the Samaritans received the Holy Spirit in the same sense as the baptism in the Spirit that occurred at Pentecost (Acts 1:8; 2:4).
- The Samaritans’ “two-stage” experience – first believing, and then being filled with the Spirit – shows that the “two-stage” experience of Christ’s followers at Pentecost was not abnormal. The experiences of both Paul in Acts 9:5-17 and the Ephesian disciples in Acts 19:1-6 were the same as the Samaritans. They accepted Christ as Savior and Lord (the Forgiver of their sins and Leader of their lives) and afterwards were filled with (baptized in) the Spirit. There is no set time between saving faith and baptism in the Spirit; it does not need to be long, as was shown with the Christians at Caesarea (Acts 10).

Acts 8:16 Because the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
HAD NOT YET COME UPON ANY OF THEM
They had not yet experienced the power of the Holy Spirit in the same way Christ’s followers did on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:4). The Spirit had not yet “come upon” them, and they had not yet received the gift of the Spirit as God the Father had promised (Acts 1:4) and as Christ had foretold when He said, “You will be baptized with the Holy Spirit” (Acts 1:5). Evidently, they had not shown the expected spiritual signs or expressions that typically went along with the baptism in the Spirit (Acts 8:5-24).

Acts 4:31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
THEY WERE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
Several important truths stand out here.
- The phrase “baptized with [or in] the Holy Spirit” (Acts 1:5) describes how the Holy Spirit sets Christ’s followers apart and infuses them with God’s power to boldly and effectively spread the message of Jesus Christ. The terms “filled,” “clothed” and “empowered” describe the Spirit equipping believers for ministry and service (Acts 2:4; 4:8, 31; 9:17; 13:19, 52). The “filling” may be repeated or refreshed.
- These two concepts of “baptized” and “filled” also fit together to form a picture of this experience in a Christian’s life. The word “baptize” actually means to immerse, or to dip into; but since the Spirit works within a person, baptism in the Spirit becomes an overflow of the Spirit. For example, a person who receives spiritual salvation is like a container that was once empty being filled with fresh water. He or she is no longer empty but has the Holy Spirit living inside (1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19). Then, the baptism in the Holy Spirit is like pouring more clean water into the container until it overflows from within (John 7:38-39). A person who is baptized in the Spirit becomes saturated and immersed (“baptized”) with God’s presence to the point where it spills out of his or her life and is so evident that it impacts others.
- The terms “pouring out the Spirit” (Acts 2:17-18; 10:45), “receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38; 8:15) and “coming of the Spirit on” (Acts 8:16; 10:44; 11:15; 19:6) are different expressions for the occasion when Christians are ‘filled with the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:4; 4:31; 9:17).
- All the believers, including those who had been previously filled (Acts 2:4), are freshly filled to meet the continuing opposition of the Jews (Acts 4:29). Though a person receives the baptism in the Holy Spirit only once, fresh fillings with the Holy Spirit are part of God’s purpose and provision for all who have received the baptism in the Spirit (Acts 4:8; 13:52). We should desire and expect those fillings.
- The Spirit here visits and impacts a whole congregation. To fulfill God’s will and mission for the church, not only must individuals be filled with the Spirit (Acts 5:8; 9:17; 13:9), but entire congregations (Acts 2:4; 4:31; 13:53) should experience repeated displays of power from the Holy Spirit when special needs and challenges arise.
- When God graciously provided the entire congregation with a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit, the church experienced great boldness and power to speak for Christ, great desire to love and serve one another and great favor from God on all the people.
