In the Book of Acts, the 10^th chapter, we find a very interesting event in the early Christian church.  A gentile requested Peter, the leader of the first church in Jerusalem, a Jewish church, to come and visit and explain the Gospel to him and his family.  Reading verses 34-43, we hear the words of Peter and the effect of his vision corresponding with the vision of Cornelius.
