Acts 11:12-15
12 Then the Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered the man's house. 13 And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, ‘Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter, 14 who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved.’ 15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning.
Peter obeyed God's leading after being told to trust and obey completely. So he went to a man's house who needed to hear the words of life in Christ as he was called to do. And there those listening believed with the faith given to regeneration and rebirth, and were sealed with God's Spirit as the Jews were at Pentecost. The church was spreading to the nations, as God called out people according to His promises.
