To see the kingdom of God a man must be born again. The kingdom being spoken of is the prophetic Davidic kingdom on earth, in which Christ will reign along with the believing remnant, the Israel of God (Exodus 19:5-6 Luke 12:32 Psalm 22:28 Galatians 6:16). To enter into the kingdom a man must be born of water and of the Spirit. Israel had to believe on the name of Jesus; believe he was the Messiah, the Son of God (John 20:31 1 John 5:13). Jesus is saying that Israel had to repent and confess their sins as a nation and be water baptized and receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38). The Holy Spirit under the fulfillment of the new testament will cleanse Israel with water and put a new spirit in them and cause them to walk in his statutes, keep his judgments, and do them (Ezekiel 36:24-28). Jesus in saying "Ye must be born again" speaks of the nation of Israel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is for ALL of us, the New Testament Church... 1 Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Has God stopped calling? I say emphatically NO!

There are no God given labels that say this bit is for Jews only or this is for everyone. As far as God is concerned we have all sinned and need salvation. It boils down to there being two types of people on earth. The saved and the not saved. All the saved, whether Jew, gentile, barbarian, slave or free are Christian. Those who are not Christian, who are not saved are lost, condemned because they have not believed Jesus. It does not matter who they are. They need to respond to Jesus.

Matthew 15:24 (NKJV) But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Now after His death, burial, and resurrection, the situation changed. Especially at Acts 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello 1 Peter 1:23 is being addressed to Israel as seen in 1 Peter 1:1 Acts 2:38-39 is also being addressed to Israel as seen in Acts 2:22 The remnant of Israel are the ones the Lord shall call (Joel 2:32) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who directed Peter to go to Cornelius’ house, Cornelius a Gentile - God did! What happened at Cornelius’ house? While Peter preached, the Gentiles received the Holy Ghost just like Peter and all the others did on the Day of Pentecost, in Acts Chapter 2. What did Peter do right AFTER the Gentiles received the Holy Ghost, “the Bible way”? -- He COMMANDED them to be baptized. Thanks, and God bless!

Hello Footprint First of all Acts is a transitional book detailing the diminishing of Israel and the dispensation of grace revealed through Paul God always made provision for the Gentiles to come to God through Israel (Exodus 12:48) Cornelius was a devout Gentile (Acts 10:2) Peter was baptizing the Gentile believers after the manner preached at Pentecost because the gospel of the kingdom was still being preached in Acts 10. The gospel of the kingdom was the earthly Davidic kingdom for Israel. There were always Gentiles who also believed this gospel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is for WHOSOEVER will, regardless of who OR what they are. Jesus rent the veil in twain AND broke down the middle of partition. It’s now "saved" or "lost". One God. One Church. One Plan of Salvation. One Way - and it is strait and narrow, which few find. NO OTHER WAY! Also Paul was sent to the Gentiles. And after some years he went up to Jerusalem to make sure what he was preaching to the Gentiles by revelation was the same as what the “foot print” followers were preaching. And it was. God bless!
