Gentiles Saved

(A study/comparison of similar verses)
“Therefore let it be known to you that
the salvation of God has been sent to the
Gentiles, and they will hear it!”

Acts 28:28
 
The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were
astonished
that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured
out even on Gentiles.
For they heard them speaking in
tongues and praising God.  Then Peter said, “Surely no one
can stand in the way of their being baptized with water.
They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.  So he
ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ...

Acts 10:45-48
 
And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up
and said to them: “Men and brethren, you know that a
good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth
the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.
 
So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving
them the Holy Spirit
, just as He did to us, and made no
distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Acts 15:7-9
