In the book of Acts, which event symbolizes the inclusion of the Gentiles into the new covenant?

  1. The stoning of Stephen
  2. The conversion of Saul (Paul)
  3. The Pentecost experience
  4. The baptism of Cornelius ✓
Explanation

Cornelius was a Roman officer and a Gentile. Peter preached to his household, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they were baptised (Acts 10).

This showed that the gospel was open to Gentiles. The baptism of Cornelius is the key event.
