Cornelius, a centurion of the Italian cohort stationed in Caesarea, was converted and baptized by Peter. This event is recorded in the Bible in Acts chapter 10. Cornelius was a God-fearing man who had a vision in which an angel instructed him to send for Peter. At the same time, Peter had a vision in which God revealed to him that the gospel was also for the Gentiles, not just the Jews. When Cornelius' men arrived, Peter went with them to Caesarea and preached the gospel to Cornelius and his household. The Holy Spirit fell upon them, and Peter baptized them. This event was significant in the early church because it showed that salvation was available to all people, regardless of their nationality or background.
