Acts 10

Acts 10 is when the Gentiles are given the word and spirit.  Before Acts 10 the Gospel had been taught to only the Jews.  Only Jew had become Christians and received the Spirit.  The Lord sent a vision to Peter and in the vision a sheet has let down from heaven with all kinds of animals.  The Lord told Peter to kill and eat.  Peter then answered the Lord that he had never eaten anything unclean or uncommon, this happened three times.  What this meant was that the gospel was for all people of the earth, Jew and Gentile.  So Peter went out and taught the Gentiles, they believed and received the Spirit.  That is the true fulfillment of the great commission, to all people of all nations.
