Did Cornelius believe in Christ?

His great deficiency was not baptism per se, but that he had not yet recieved Christ - the ultimate sacrifice.

The baptism and Holy Spirit came as a consequence of his recieving the good news that Jesus Christ had died for his sins.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
