Acts 11:15 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 11:15
Peter reported to the Jerusalem church: 'as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.' The comparison to Pentecost ('the beginning') demonstrated that Gentiles received the identical Spirit as the first Jewish believers. Peter's testimony emphasized God's sovereign action - the Spirit fell while Peter was speaking, not after lengthy teaching or ritual. From a Reformed perspective, this vindicates the doctrine that the Spirit sovereignly regenerates whom He wills, when He wills. The parallel to Pentecost proved Gentile inclusion in the new covenant church.
