Salvation begins at repentance/faith/belief. Philip preached Christ to the Samaritans in
Acts 8. The Bible says in verse 12 the people believed Philip's message. No contradiction there to what I said.
Acts 9:25 says "other believers" lowered Saul down in a large basket. The inference is that Saul was a believer too.
At what point did Cornelius believe?
Acts 10:43 says Peter said, "...everyone who believes in Him will have their sins forgiven..."
I said, or meant to say, that every conversion in Acts includes either repentance OR faith OR belief. Baptism and speaking in tongues is only present 4 out of 18 times.
