Acts 10:1-3

1) Cornelius did not have a vision, he saw an Angel of the Lord
2) Peter had the vision of the unclean animals
3) The purpose of Peter going to meet with Cornelius is not because Cornelius needed a Pastor.
The purpose of
Acts 10 was to fulfil what Jesus said in
Acts 1:8 - to be witnesses in "in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Until
Acts 10, the Holy Ghost had only fallen on Jews. Cornelius was the first Gentile filled with the Holy Ghost.
The reason God sent Peter to Cornelius was to show the Holy Ghost and salvation was for Gentiles also.
Again, nothing to do with needing a Pastor.
