ACTS 11:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.”
'As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning.'—Peter's declaration establishes equivalence: the Spirit's falling on Gentiles matches the Spirit's falling on Jewish believers at Pentecost (the 'beginning'). The parallelism (hōsper kai eph' hēmas en archē) is explicit; there is no tiered salvation, no Spirit reserved for Jews.
