Is there any reason gentiles would have been a part of that gathering other than by coincidence? (Legitimately asking because I don't know the answer to that question.)
Also, the footnote in my ESV tells me that the murmuring in Acts 6:1 was being done by Hellenists, or Greek-speaking Jews.
As an aside, if Acts 10 isn't the initial offering of salvation to the gentiles, what purpose did Peter's vision serve? |
Exactly, and simple to the point. What on earth was the purpose was the vision of Peter to go to a Noahide. If uncircumcised Romans were already speaking in tongues in Acts 2?
