Acts 11:13-14

And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, ‘Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter,

14 who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved. '

1. Peter learned that an angel had also spoken to Cornelius and told him to send for Peter.

2. Here is something to ponder: Why send for Peter?

1. If there is predestination - Why send for Peter?

2. If salvation is by prayer, praying through, mourners bench - Why send for Peter?

3. If salvation is by faith alone - Why send for Peter?

4. If salvation is by doing good works - Why send for Peter?

3. ANSWER : None of these common teachings are correct. Peter was needed to tell him what he must do to be saved.

4. This statement also shows that Cornelius was not already saved. His salvation was dependent upon hearing what Peter would tell them, and doing it.
