The first Gentiles to be filled with the Holy Spirit were a military man and his family.

I really don't know the answer to my question. I have believed both ways before.

Did Jesus or the Apostles tell converts to enlist?

I would not, nor would I encourage anyone else to do so.

I wish every American would serve in our Armed Forces in some capacity for a minimum of two years.
