Broussard does a good job, such as refuting the canard that Acts 10:47 refutes baptismal regeneration. On this, see Acts 10:47, Cornelius, and Baptismal Regeneration (cf. Does Cornelius Help Refute Baptismal Regeneration? and. Was Cornelius Converted Before Acts 10?)

 For more on baptism and its salvific efficacy, something I have written a great deal about, see:
