Here we have Peter ministering to this house full of Romans, military at that. Now you know, there wasn't much spirituality in the Roman military, was there? But yet miraculously the Spirit worked upon Cornelius and caused him to send some of his underlings down to find Peter. They brought Peter up. Of course Peter was still on the same premise that he had from the time of Christ's earthly ministry, and that was what we call the Gospel of the Kingdom, and that was believing that Jesus was that promised Messiah and coming king, period.

Even though Jesus Christ had now been crucified, buried, and risen; Peter does not proclaim faith in that for salvation, as we must do today in the Age of Grace. All Peter proclaims is that even though their King had been crucified, He had been raised from the dead, and He was still capable of being the King. That's why it's called the Gospel of the Kingdom.

Now, again, a lot of people get all confused. They think that's still a valid gospel today.
