Commentary on Acts 11:16
Peter remembered Jesus' words: 'John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.' This prophecy (Acts 1:5) found fulfillment not only at Pentecost but also at Cornelius's house. The contrast between John's water baptism and the Spirit's baptism shows the superiority of new covenant reality over old covenant shadows. Reformed theology distinguishes between the outward sign (water baptism) and the inward reality (Spirit baptism) - the latter being the saving work of regeneration and incorporation into Christ's body.
