Merrill F. Unger: Cornelius was Not Saved Prior to Meeting Peter

  

The contention that Cornelius was saved before Peter’s visit is invalid. He was a godfearing man as indicated in Acts 10:2. But Scripture declares that he was not saved. Cornelius was told by an angel that Peter was to be summoned to tell him words by which he and all his house should “be saved” (Ac 11:14). (Merrill F. Unger, The Baptism and Gifts of the Holy Spirit [Chicago: Moody Publishers, 1974], 83-84)
