Acts 10:48
46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God. Then Peter said,
47 “Can anyone withhold the water to baptize these people? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have!”
So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.
