Was Cornelius being led by the Spirit of God after he received the Holy Ghost and before he was baptized? If so then he was a son of God before baptism (Romans 8:14). And if he was a son of God before baptism then he also was a child of God before baptism. And if he was a child of God before baptism then he also was a joint heir with Christ before baptism (Romans 8:17).

So yes or no? Was Cornelius being led by the Spirit of God after he received the Holy Ghost but before he was baptized?
