The Gentiles in Cornelius’ house had already believed in Jesus in their hearts as Peter was speaking.
They received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit when Peter had said “that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
God confirms the Gospel: forgiveness of sins in Jesus’ name, with accompanying signs and wonders.
How to recognize if a person is truly saved? The ability to pray in tongues is one indication of this.
Water baptism is clearly still for today. The early church practiced it and there is nowhere in the New Testament that says that water baptism is discontinued.
A true believer will surely want to be water baptized — he or she will want to receive everything that God’s word commands.
This is another way to distinguish a true believer from a false believer: the willingness to receive water baptism.
Someone who is newly saved will surely want to learn more about Jesus and the faith.
If someone professes to be a Christian and yet has no interest at all to know more about the Bible or about Jesus, then he or she may not really saved.
For a local church, is important to know if people are really saved or not, especially when hiring full-time ministry staff.
It can be extremely destructive to hire a false believer who is sent by the devil to wreck havoc in the church.
