Was Cornelius, the Roman centurion of Acts chapter ten, saved before and without baptism?

A puzzling passage that contains great wisdom for church leadership.

Study with us three important points from this passage.

Must the Bible explicitly condemn something to make it wrong?

Time! How precious it is. But “time” is not a comodity to be teased, flirted with, or ignored. Time is a hard task-master! Respect it.

I do not understand men who treat their wives so indifferently, much less those who deliberately wound them with insulting words or actually assault them physically. And some men of this temperament profess to be Christians!

Some atheists reject the very existence of Jesus of Nazareth. But is this lack of belief based on a reasonable examination of the evidence? Not in the least.

In 1 Corinthians 7:15, Paul affirms that if an unbelieving mate abandons his Christian companion the Christian is “not under bondage.” Some allege that this provides an additional cause for divorce — other than fornication (Mt. 5:32; 19:9). But is there real evidence for this position?

A critic asserts that the three different records of Paul’s conversion, as recorded in the book of Acts, are irrelevantly repetitious and even contradictory? Does the charge really hold up? Consider this matter with us.

Did Jesus of Nazareth ever live? Is the New Testament data regarding him reliable? This is a crucial issue.

What does “contending for the faith” mean?

Is the Bible a divine document inspired of God? If so, to what degree? Is it merely in sense or in sentence? Are the very words of the text inspired?

How can we secure the future of our nation? What is the solution to homeland security?

Many believe that a Christian can never be lost. But what does the Bible say?

Is “marriage” a divinely designed institution, or is it a human invention? Let us see where the evidence lies.

In the internet age, the ease of communication without thought has caused many problems.

A gentleman affiliated with the Independent Christian Church has argued that Christian worship is not regulated by New Testament law? Does this theory have the support of Scripture?

Does the Bible contain a mathematical error relative to the dimensions of Solomon’s temple basin? Critics so claim, but what are the actual facts?

Today, archaeology scholars have stunned the world by an announcement that an inscription, possibly bearing the name of Jesus Christ, has been found on a stone bone-burial box in Israel. If the find proves to be authentic, it will provide further striking evidence of the historicity of the existence of Jesus.
